key west intermezzo (i saw you first)

john mellencamp

in a hand painted night

me and gypsy scotty are partners

at the hotel flamingo

wearin black market shoes

this loud cuban band is crucifying john lennon

no one wants to be lonely

no one wants to sing the blues

she's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder

christ

what's she doing with him she could be dancing with me

she stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger

i want to be what she's drinking

yeah i just want to be

i saw you first

i'm the first one tonight

i saw you first

don't that give me the right

to move around in your heart

everyone was lookin

but i saw you first

on a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo

gypsy scotty is driving his big long yellow car

she flies like a bird over his shoulder

she whispers in his ear

boy

you are my star

but i saw you first

i'm the first one tonight

yes i saw you first

don't that give me the right

to move around in your heart

everyone was lookin. in the bone colored dawn

me and gypsy scotty are singin'

the radio is playin

she left her shoes out in the back

he tells me a story about some girl he knows in kentucky

he just made that story up

there ain't no girl like that

but i saw you first

i'm the first one tonight

yes i saw you first

don't that give me the right

to move around in your heart

everyone was lookin

but i saw you first

i saw you first
