Melanie is sweet
  a vision on her feet
  so young so fair
  a bridge of iron
  standing tall between two parted spheres
  she's a novelty of reality
  though she tried so hard
  my sweet darling Melanie
  
  She's glad for what she's had
  her mom and several dads so she complained
  this modern love affair
  with life can really get you down
  
  She's a novelty of reality
  but she tried so hard my sweet darling Melanie
  
  Ooh but life goes on
  ooh the same old song
  ooh but love's in search of mystery
  so you worked so hard my sweet darling Melanie
  
  Over the horizon
  birds of paradise sit in her eyes
  you can feel forever on her sweet and silken sighs
  
  She's novelty of reality
  so she tried so hard my sweet darling Melanie
  na, na, na
  she's novelty of reality
  so she tried so hard my sweet darling Melanie
  so she tried so hard my sweet darling Melanie
  na, na, na...
