Key West Intermezzo Lyrics - John Mellencamp

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotti are partners 

At the Hotel Flamingo, wearing 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 she's doing here, she could be dancing with me 

She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant fingers 

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 your heart 

Everyone's looking but I saw you first

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo 

Gypsy Scotty's driving his big long yellow car 

She flies like a bird over his shoulder 

She whispers in his ear "Boy, you are my star" 

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 your heart 

Everyone's looking 

In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotti are singin' 

The radio is playin', she left her shoes out in the back 

Tells me a story about some goodie knows in Kentucky 

He just made that story up, there ain't no girl like that

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 your heart 

Everyone's looking but I saw you first 

I saw you first, I saw you first yeah, yeah, yeah
