Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead, as we followed in the steps Between the part of pages you were pressed In love's hot severed fire, like a striped pair of pants MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain And I don't think that I can take it Cos it took so long to bake it And I'll never have the recipe again Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no There will be another song for me, for I will sing it There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it I will bring the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking in the sun But after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you and wondering why MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain And I don't think that I can take it Cos it took so long to bake it And I'll never have the recipe again Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no
