Lyrics

The nicest boy in town says "Patty, hello!" And she turns and walks away She has some better thing to do But when another boy comes strolling along And he's bitter and forlorn Like an April snow, she's through In his tortured eyes she sees A new way to give and help and please And then Patty melts 'cause he's the one Patty melts, and she's all gone And will she lie? And will she hide every tear that her easy heart can spill? Oh, yes—I've seen it all before Watch him wring her like a damp little dishrag And wipe the floor Until she doesn't want him anymore So he falls down on his knees And he pours his pain like antifreeze And then Patty melts 'cause he's the one Patty melts, and she's all done Patty melts away But I hear her say, "Well, love isn't always happy" Can't she understand, on the other hand, it's not misery? In his tragic eyes sees A new way to give and help and please and then Patty melts cause he's the one Patty melts and she's all done Patty melts on his tongue Patty melts and she's all done
