Madeleine
[intro]
[verse]
Tell me quickly, tell me slow, say the words I need to know,
I just want to hear it one more time,
I just want to hear it one more time,
Tell me Madeleine can still be mine.
[verse]
Now I was down in Mexico, met a girl I used to know,
Didn t know that she could look so fine,
Didn t know that she could look so fine,
Never looked like that when she was mine.
[Instrumental]
[verse]
Winter time in 64 and I was in trouble broke the law,
Judge he found me guilty gave me time,
Judge he found me guilty gave me time,
That s when I first set eyes on Madeleine.
[verse]
Now normally I d walk on by, but something caught me in the eye,
Shining like a diamond in the dirt,
Shining like a diamond in the dirt,
When she goes I know it s gonna hurt.
[refrain]
I don t know why I feel this way,
I ll love her til my dying day and they will never come between us.
[verse]
She was in the prison yard lookin mean and working hard,
We started talking started having fun,
We started talking started having fun,
She never made me feel like I should run.
[verse]
And now the time was shooting by, me and Madeleine were fine,
Prison life was nurturing my soul,
Prison life was nurturing my soul,
Pretty soon and I was on Parole.
[Instrumental]
[verse]
When I was on the other side and Madeleine was on my mind,
Playing hard to get like she had won,
Playing hard to get like she had won,
That s when I knew that me and her was done.
[verse]
So tell me quickly, tell me slow, say the words I need to know,
I just want to hear it one more time,
I just want to hear it one more time,
Tell me Madeleine can still be mine.
Tell me Madeleine can still be mine.
Tell me Madeleine can still be mine.
