It's easy to do, it's not so easy to say
I was talking to you when you took my tongue away
I hear a melody and I feel so ashamed
I got nothing you'd need and you're so hard to blame

I hear a melody, I hear a melody
I hear a melody and you're so hard to blame
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/elvis+costello/i+hear+a+melody+demo_20829543.html ]
You will never work out I know that's easy to see
So the way that I want you to stay is hidden in me
You'll never know the fool I'm feeling tonight
But it's best that you never know 'cause I know it's not right

I hear a melody, I hear a melody
I hear a melody and I know it's not right

I hear a melody, I hear a melody
I hear a melody and I know it's not right
