Chance Meeting At The Tarantula

Lyrics

Hey, don't I know you from somewhere
 Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
 In one of those backstreet bars in the Quarter Quarter
 Between Street 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 and you, baby
 It was all about me and you
 Well it looks like to me
 That you have conveniently
 Forgotten everything
 This confusion that has surrounded you
 Is 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 and you, baby
 It was all about me and you
 Well you told me that you lived on 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 and you, baby
 It was all about me and you
