[I. MacArthur Park 00:00-08:27]

[Verse 1]
Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages
We were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

[Chorus]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowin' down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[Verse 2]
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers
By the trees

[Chorus]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[Instrumental Break 03:16-03:51]

[Bridge]
There will be another song for me
And I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it

[Verse 3]
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun, yeah
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

[Verse 4]
I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers from the sky
Oh, and after all the loves of my life, yeah
After all the loves in my life
You'll still be the one
And I'll ask myself why, yeah

[Chorus]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it

And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, yeah

Baby please (baby please)
Please don't take your love from me (please don't take your love from me)
I am yours forever more (ever more), 'til eternity (oh)
Silently (so silently), listen to the words I say (listen to the words I say)
I'm not talking just for play (just for play), listen to me please
(Won't you listen to me?)

[Chorus: Donna Summer]
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be and

Heaven knows I never wanna leave you
Heaven knows I only wanna please you
Don't you know love is what I need?

Down inside (down inside)
Don't get caught with foolish pride (don't get caught with foolish pride)
Put all the other things aside (things aside), there's only you and me
(you and me, you and)
Believe in us (believe in us), we were always meant to be (always meant to be)
Me for you and you for me (you for me), 'til eternity ('til eternity)

[Chorus: Donna Summer]
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be and
Heaven knows it's not the way it could be and
Don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows I only wanna love you
Heaven knows I never wanna lose you
Don't you know love is meant to be?

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
Now you know, s stop with the pretending
So come on now, hear me when I cry
