Saw her on a friday outside someone run down saloon   She was cryin over someone she felt left much too soon   I said, hey girl don't you cry tonight   Let me take you out on this town   She looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground   With half a wink she asked me would I use some kind of creep   I told her no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep   The moon hung over soho   And I counted 16 stars   I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours   She's a dandelion, up on her hill above the sea   She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be      She's a dandelion   She looks like everything I need   I thought she was a flower   But I found out she's a weed      Then I hold on hold on hold on   Hold on hold on hold on      [kelis]   I just be poison   But I took he took me to his roof top   He said are you afraid of heights,   I said no I am not   He said hey girl don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel   We danced around in circles,   He said I think we found something real      She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea   She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be      She's a dandelion   She looks like everything I need   I thought she was a flower   But I found out she's a weed      Then I hold on hold on hold on   Hold on hold on hold on   Down in union square   I saw her walking all alone   I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown   She met someone on seventeenth that she knew him all too well   My little piece of heaven has a secret she won't tell   With half a smile she took his hand   And then they walked away   I realized I would not see my girl after today      I fell in love with a dandelion   And she's all I ever had   At first she looked so sweet   But in the end she tastes so bad   She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea   She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be      She's a dandelion   She looks like everything I need   I thought she was a flower   But I found out she's a weed      Then I hold on hold on hold on   Hold on hold on hold on   And I tell myself   Hold on hold on hold on   Hold on hold on hold on   Yeah hold on   She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea   She's not exactly everything I thought that she might be      She's a dandelion   She looks like everything I need   I thought she was a flower   But I found out she's a weed      Then I hold on hold on hold on   Hold on hold on hold on
