Saw her on a Friday outside some rundown saloon
She was cryin' over someone that she felt left much too soon
I said, "hey girl don't you cry tonight, let me take you out on this town"
She looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground
With half a wink she asked me, "what are you, some kind of creep?"
I told her, "no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep"
The moon hung over SoHo and I counted 16 stars
I pointed to the brightest one and said, "now that one's ours"
She's a dandelion, up on a hill above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion, she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
She just might be poison, but I took her to my roof top
I said, "are you afraid of heights?", she said, "no, I am not"
I said, "hey girl, don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel"
We danced around in circles, she said, "I think we found something real"
She's a dandelion, up on a hill above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion, she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Down in Union Square, I saw her walking all alone
I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown
She met someone on 17th that she knew him all too well
My little peice of heaven has a secret she won't tell
With half a smile she took his hand and then they walked away
I realized I wouldn't see my girl after today
I fell in love with a dandelion and she's all I ever had
At first she looked so sweet but in the end she tastes so bad
She's a dandelion, up on a hill above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion, she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
She's a dandelion, up on a hill above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion, she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
