Spring was never waiting for us girl, it ran one step ahead as we followed in a dance. Between the parted pages and were pressed in love's hot fevered iron like a striped pair of pants.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark all the sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I don't think I can take it, 'Cause it took so long to bake it. and I'll never have the recipe again, Oh, no.
I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave on the ground and round your knees. And the birds like tender babies in your hand and the old men playing checkers by the trees.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark all the sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I don't think I can take it, 'Cause it took so long to bake it. and I'll never have the recipe again, Oh, no. There will be another song for me, someone will bring it. There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it. I will drink the wine while it is warm and never let you catch me looking in the sun.
But after all the loves of my life, After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it. I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it. I will have the things that I desire and my passions flow like rivers to the sky.
But after all the loves of my life, After all the loves of my life, I'll by thinking of you.
And wondering why.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark all the sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I don't think I can take it, 'Cause it took so long to bake it. and I'll never have the recipe again, Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
