Melinda by I-Roy Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1973

Some folks have ideals and other folks have dreams
Well, I really got Melinda, that's exactly how it seems, as I would tell you
And I would not [?] relationship, as I would say

Oh, when you turn and you walk through that door
It hurts me so

Baby, and I would never let you go
Still I want the world to know how much I love you so, sugar boo
Really tell you about the girl I really met at the party called Melinda, as I would say
Well, I went over to the table and I say "Baby, your eyes has been following me all over this joint"
She says to me, "Well, it's just because you are..."
And I say "Baby, wеll you're a freak for a funny walker"

So listеn to me while I say to you (Yeah)
Breaking up

So I invited her to a party at Todd's place
She have some smiles on her face, and I could never erase, you know
So at this party, she had champagne
[?]
I had Scotch on the rocks, as I would tell you
I was kinda intoxicated, you know
So we had some kinda jive talk, and I take her home
Went to the bathroom to have some kinda cool-down, as I would say, she was still around
There she make herself at home, as I would tell you, 'bout this girl called Melinda
Said my love is so, so strong

My love was so strong, I said "Baby, the next thing you gotta give head to is R.S.R."
Is Roy Senior, as I would tell you, you know

Everybody's dog
They know this
They know this

There was some kinda dude following us around the place, as I would tell you
This dude really got some kind of screw face
This dude was really in the mood to mess things up, you know
This girl called Melinda was some kind of beautiful dame
He just got to call her name, over and over again
And when I went on the jive talk, baby, you gotta make me feel so fine
Baby, you gotta move on down the line, as I would tell you two time

Crying
I cannot let you go
For my love is so strong (Baby)
My love is so

And I never really like to get in love too deep, as I told her, you know
Cause I really have some kind of tender spot for her
Cause baby, when I love too deep [?]
So listen to what I say to you
Breaking up

This girl called Melinda was some kinda head cat
