Saw her on a Friday outside
Someone run down saloon
She was cryin over someone
She felt left much too soon
I said, "Hey girl
Don't you cry tonight
Let me take you out
On this town"
She looked at me and smiled
As one last tear
Splashed off the ground
With half a wink
She asked me
Would I use
Some kind of creep
I told her no,
I guess I just feel your vibe
Is kinda deep
The moon hung over soho
And I counted 16 stars
I pointed at the brightest one
And said now that one's ours
She's a dandelion,
Up on her hill
Above the sea
She's not exactly everything
I thought that she might be

She's a dandelion
She looks like
Everything I need
I thought she was a flower
But I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on

(Kelis:)
I just be poison
But I took he took me
To his roof top
He said, "Are
You afraid of heights?"
I said, "No, I am not"
He said, "Hey girl,
Don't you lie to me,
Tell me everything you feel"
We danced around in circles,
He said, "I think
We found something real"

She's a dandelion,
Up on her cliff
Above the sea
She's not exactly everything
I thought that she might be

She's a dandelion
She looks like
Everything I need
I thought she was a flower
But I found out she's a weed

Then I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
Down in union square
I saw her walking all alone
I walked a little slower
Just so I'd remain unknown
She met someone on seventeenth
That she knew him all too well
My little piece of Heaven
Has a secret
She won't tell
With half a smile
She took his hand
And then they walked away
I realised I would not
See my girl after today

I fell in love with a dandelion
And she's all I ever had
At first she looked so sweet
But in the end
She tastes so bad
She's a dandelion,
Up on her cliff
Above the sea
She's not exactly everything
I thought that she might be

She's a dandelion
She looks like
Everything I need
I thought she was a flower
But I found out she's a weed

Then I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
And I tell myself
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
Yeah hold on
She's a dandelion,
Up on her cliff
Above the sea
She's not exactly everything
I thought that she might be

She's a dandelion
She looks like
Everything I need
I thought she was a flower
But I found out she's a weed

Then I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
