Karaoké 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' yeah

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

Hey

I saw you first

Yeah hey hey hey
