Chance Meeting At The Tarantula — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Hey, don`t I know you from somewhere
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
In one of those back-street bars in the quarter
Between Desire and Honalee
You were dancin` with a friend of Michael`s
I remember how we met
You were talkin` to ol` Jimmy
And you lit my cigarette

How come you can`t remember?
This is me you`re talkin` to
From May through September
It was all about me `n you, Baby
It was all about me `n you

Well it looks like to me
That you have conveniently forgotten everything
This confusion that has surrounded you
Is this your morality and not your brain
You`ve got a birthmark below your navel
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
From that doctor who said he loved you

How come you can`t remember?
This is me you`re talkin` to
From May through September
It was all about me `n you, Baby
It was all about me `n you

Well you told me that you lived in the wind
Like a bird who never touched the ground
And if you did you would surely die without making a sound
Live, let`s live, that`s all you kept sayin`
And our summer was full of life
We`re gonna send them a postcard, and show `em what it`s like to be alive
But I never wanted to leave your side
No, I just couldn`t believe that you`d lie
No, I never wanted to say good-bye baby

How come you can`t remember?
This is me you`re talkin` to
From May through September
It was all about me `n you, Baby
It was all about me `n you
