John Mellencamp Chance Meeting at the Tarantula Lyrics

Hey, dont I know you from somewhere
Yeah, it was down in new orleans
In one of those back-street bars in the quarter
Between desire and honalee
You were dancin with a friend of michaels
I remember how we met
You were talkin to ol jimmy
And you lit my cigarette

How come you cant remember?
This is me youre talkin to
From may through september
It was all about me n you, baby
It was all about me n you

Well it looks like to me
That you have conveniently forgotten everything
This confusion that has surrounded you
Is this your morality and not your brain
Youve got a birthmark below your navel
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
You got this rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
From that doctor who said he loved you

How come you cant remember?
This is me youre talkin to
From may through september
It was all about me n you, baby
It was all about me n you

Well you told me that you lived in the wind
Like a bird who never touched the ground
And if you did you would surely die without making a sound
Live, lets live, thats all you kept sayin
And our summer was full of life
Were gonna send them a postcard, and show em what its like to be alive
But I never wanted to leave your side
No, I just couldnt believe that youd lie
No, I never wanted to say good-bye baby

How come you cant remember?
This is me youre talkin to
From may through september
It was all about me n you, baby
It was all about me n you
