(Words & Music by John Oates)


One for the money

One song I'm writing for you

And if you can't take me with you girl

Take this Melody for a Memory

Love in the morning

Love in the late afternoon

There'll be no words when I leave you girl

Just a Melody for a Memory

And if you can't take me with you

Take this Melody for a Memory

She cried when he left her

Her eyes went black with the blue

The infrequent letters

The sooner the better

The cold distant phone calls

Will have to do

And if you can't take me with you

Take this Melody for a Memory

Take part of me, take part of me

Take this Melody for a Memory
