Melody Man - Smokey Robinson

Now you don’t have a particular lyric

And they don’t necessarily rhyme

But it’s always the same old story

And it breaks my heart every time

Right in the middle of our dance

Just as soon as I catch on

Then you’re gone right in the middle of our tune

You can change right up to me

But I’m your Mister Melody

Playing along with your every song

Now you don’t have a particular tempo

And you’re not necessarily fast

But my keeping up with you is such a hard thing

Like a man with his leg in a cast

Right in the middle of our dance

Just as soon as I catch on

Then you’re gone right in the middle of our tune

You can change right up to me

But I’m your Mister Melody

Playing along with your every song

Well, well, well

You can play me anyway you want to

You can play me anyway you can, baby

Play me anyway you want to, baby

I’m your melody man

Play me, baby, play me

Play me, baby, play me

Well, now, you’re the one musician who can play me

And I’ve never been played this way

And you know that all you have to do is touch me

And I play whatever you say

Right in the middle of our dance

Just as soon as I catch on

Then you’re gone right in the middle of our tune

You can change right up to me

But I’m your Mister Melody

Playing along with your every song

Ooh-ooh, play me anyway you want to

You can play me anyway you can, oh, baby

Play me anyway you want to

'Cause I’m your melody man

Baby, I’m your melody man

Play me, baby, play me

Play me loud in front of the crowd

Play me, baby, play me

Play me tender, make me surrender

Play me tender, make me surrender

'Cause, baby, I’m your melody man

Oh, baby, I’m your melody man

Oh, play me, baby, play me

Play me loud in front of the crowd

Play me, baby, play me

Play me tender, make me surrender

Play me tender, make me surrender

'Cause, baby, I’m your melody man

Ooh, baby, I’m your melody man

Melody man

I’m your melody man

Melody man

I’m your melody man

Play me, baby, play me…
