Saw her on a Friday outside some rundown saloon

She was cryin' over someone that 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, "what are you, 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 to the brightest one and said, "now that one's ours"

She's a dandelion, up on a 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

She just might be poison, but I took her to my roof top

I said, "are you afraid of heights?", she said, "no, I am not"

I said, "hey girl, don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel"

We danced around in circles, she said, "I think we found something real"

She's a dandelion, up on a 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

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 17th that she knew him all too well

My little peice of heaven has a secret she won't tell

With half a smile she took his hand and then they walked away

I realized I wouldn't 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 a 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

She's a dandelion, up on a 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
