The Refreshments Melanie song lyrics

Melanie J. Arnell

Now here´s a little tip that you might have to follow

To make your dreamprince hook, line, sinker swallow

This been goin´ ´round since early last century

It was made up by a girl called Melanie

There are 35 steps known as "The Rules"

It´ll separate you from the love-fools

In this world there are "Losers" and "Melanies"

And only the latter will get a prince to he´s knees

She said you´ve only got one life

So when you make someone´s wife

You better marry happily

And then you have to be like Melanie

Melanie was always surrounded by men

But she kept her cool and they kept comin´back again

The secret is playin´ hard to get

Through all the years it ain´t never failed once yet

She said you´ve only got one life

So when you make someone´s wife

You better marry happily

And then you have to be like Melanie

Solo

Time waits for noone

Soon I´ll be dead and buried

I ain´t getting no younger

Now, she wants to get married

Now stick to "The Rules" no matter what you do

And you will find the sun will shine on you

She said you´ve only got one life

So when you make someone´s wife

You better marry happily

And then you have to be like Melanie

Melanie
