Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      She lived across the street   On the fifteenth floor of the Gilmore Building   I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap      I knew she had to be the girl for me   And to think I probably never would have found her   If I hadn't bought that telescope      Oh, Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      I just can't understand it   Why won't you return my phone calls?   Are you still mad I gave a Mohawk to your cat?      If you'd just say the word   I'm certain that our love would last forever and ever   Or are you too dumb to realize that?      Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      How can you ignore me when you know   That I can't live without you?   I have to go through your garbage   Just to learn more about you      Melanie, ooh   Oh, sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      You weren't impressed when I tattooed   Your name across my forehead   You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true      I couldn't stand it, so I jumped out   From the sixteenth story window right above you   Now I may be dead but I still love you      Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      I'm singin' Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet, sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      I'm singin' Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?      I'm singin' Melanie   What can the problem be?   Sweet Melanie   Why won't you go out with me?
