Lyrics

Come sit beside me, girl I like your style.
I like to watch you moving down the aisle.
I like the devil-lady that’s in your eyes,

Oh my Melissa.
Oh my Melissa,
Won’t you please keep some kind of little light on?
Well, I’ll be there when sun goes down.
I’ll be there when sun goes down.

It makes no difference if you’re poor or rich,
I’ve had my troubles and I’ve had my sense of position,
Don’t need to lean on you,

Oh my Melissa.
Oh my Melissa
Won’t you please keep some kind of little light on?
Well, I’ll be there when sun goes down.
I’ll be there when sun goes down.

I can’t believe I’m such a lucky guy
What was it girl that made you catch my eye?
You came to me on the wings of a dream,
You ain’t no angel but that’s allright with me.

Oh my Melissa, oh my Melissa,
Won’t you please keep some kind of little light on?
Well, I’ll be there when sun goes down.
Well I’ll be there when sun goes down

Come sit beside me, girl I like your style.
I like to watch you moving down the aisle.
I like the devil-lady that’s in your eyes,

Oh my Melissa.
Oh my Melissa,
won’t you please keep some kind of little light on?
I’ll be there when sun goes down.
I’ll be there when sun goes down,
I’ll be there when sun,
I’ll be there when sun goes down,
I’ll be there when sun goes--down.
