My Michelle (1986 Sound City Session)

Your daddy works in porno, now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin but now she's underground
So, you stay out late at night and you do your coke for free
And you drive all your friends crazy with your life's insanity

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Sowin' all your wild oats in another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday, maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early, and this hotel wasn't free
So, you keep on partyin' and I'll return the key

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Everyone needs love, you know that it's true
Someday, somebody's gonna fall in love with you
Oh, the time it takes, when you're all alone
Someday, you'll find someone that you can call your own
'Til then, you better

Ow!

Now you're clean and so discreet and I won't say a word
Most of all, this song is true, in case you haven't heard
But if you keep tryin', we both know money burns
So, stop your cryin' and you'll get what you deserve

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh, my Michelle
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, my-my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
