Over and over and over again I kept telling myself I'd never wonder too far from the melody
I keep it simple and mellow, everybody knows that I'm an easy-going fella
Yet when I met her, I didn't need to shove
Next thing I knew it was love, she hooked me
She had me like a puppet on a string, I couldn't do a thing
Now it's over, no more rolling in the clover
I'm lost and I'm looking for love
I was halfway to paradise yesterday
Away in my balloon
But I drifted off course on the Milky Way
And now I'll have to change my tune
If I should ever get another chance to start again
There's only one thing that I know for sure
I'll be back for more and take love in my stride
Beyond a hide into nothing
There's no other way to go
There I go, there I go
I can't understand why I'm feeling so blue
I thought that the melody mellowed you too
I took a chance with our romance
And jettisoned all my cares and woes
The way that you held me in your arms

And all that you said
Brought back tender memories
Oh, Ginger and Fred
But they were prose
Now heaven knows
That isn't the way it goes
I was halfway to paradise yesterday
Away in my balloon
But I drifted off course on the Milky Way
And now I'll have to change my tune
It might have been better
If only I tried
But you went and blew it
Like Bonnie and Clyde
And now you're gone
At last not one
It's over and I suppose
That's really the way
You made
Go
Go
Go
Go
Go

Go
