Lyrics

[Intro] This song's about a girl named Melissa, but it's called "Sweet Amy." 'Cause there's already a "Sweet Melissa," and I can't beat that 'cause that's a great song [Verse 1] She's got her heart hangin' on her sleeve Locked and loaded for the third degree Well, I'll take the chance, any chance I can It's a leap of faith with installment plans She's standing in the kitchen in her morning clothes She's got a sink full of dishes, and a sink full of soap Oh, Sweet Amy come back to bed You just need some time to lay your head Need some time to lay your head [Chorus] Oh, Sweet Amy I'm slowly fadin' Oh, Sweet Amy You'll never be, you'll never be, you'll never be Lonely [Verse 2] She's walking outside in the pouring rain She's got her shoes untied and her soul's in a sling Oh, Sweet Amy, come back inside 'Cause I can't tell if you're cryin' I can't tell if she's cryin' [Chorus] Oh, Sweet Amy I'm slowly fadin' Oh, Sweet Amy You'll never be, you'll never be, you'll never be Lonely
