Well I was trying to get it on
just like you did in that song
I was trying to be strong
but it was taking so long
It was a cold dark night
and I was only trying to feel at home
So I took off my coat
and the scarf from my throat
And I threw down my glove
and I said I wasn't alone
And all you did was smile and said
Well maybe I could stay for a while
Oh, a lady like you,
I'd have to accept your invitation
A lady like you, girl,
I never had much reputation anyway
You put Romeo singing about
his kings and queens
And you put Lenin on communicating
thoughts and dreams
Well, you put me on,
saying things don't always appear what they seem
Whatever that means
Oh, so I fell on the floor
like the one I broke
And I tried to explain just what it was
I really loved
But you told me I was lost
And from now on there's
nothing to lose
Oh, no lady like you
Well, I have to accept your invitation
A lady like you
Might as well be the best
of the situation
In any way, oh
And when the night got chilly black
Oh, you know I was only afraid to fall
I was sittin' on the wall
I thought my life was mixed up
Well, it was really just stuff
I took a taste of you
You just gave me the key to it all
All the dreams I had about going mad,
and the hours I spent by
that monument
Watching Marilyn Monroe
just like a baby rolling in the snow
She was a lady like you, oh
I had to accept her invitation
A lady like you
Cause I never had much reputation
And I'm in the problem generation
And this is no high class situation
Anyway
Oh, a lady like you
She was a lady like you
Little lady like you
Oh, tell me what can I do now
I got a lady like you
Oh, that leather and her muse
Well, tell me how
could I re fuse you
Oh, you're only sixteen
An d you know what I mean
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
my, my, my, my
Little rock and roll clean, yeah
