Saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon, He was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon, I said, hey boy don't you cry tonight, let me take you out on this town, he looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground, with half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak, I told him 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, he's a dandelion, up on his hill above the sea, he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be, he's a dandelion, he looks like everything I need, I thought he was a flower, but I found out he's a weed, Then I hold on hold on hold on, hold on hold on hold on, he might just be poison, but I took him to my roof top, I said are you afraid of heights, He said no I am not, I said hey boy don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel, we danced around in circles, He said I think we found something real, he's a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea, he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be, he's a dandelion, he looks like everything I need, I thought he was a flower, but I found out he's a weed, Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on, Down in union square, I saw him walking all alone, I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown, he met someone on seventeenth that he knew her all too well, my little piece of heaven has a secret he won't tell, with half a smile he took her hand, and then they walked away, I realized I would not see my boy after today, I fell in love with a dandelion, and he's all I ever had, at first he looked so sweet, but in the end he tastes so bad, he's a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea, he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be, he's a dandelion, he looks like everything I need, I thought she was a flower, but I found out he'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
