Chance Meeting At The Tarantula Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

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
