Version 1 of the lyrics

Spring was never waiting for us, girl

Spring was never waiting for us, girl,

It ran one step ahead

It ran one step ahead,

As we followed in the dance

As we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages and were pressed

Between the parted pages and were pressed,

In love's hot fevered iron

In love's hot, fevered iron,

Like a striped pair of pants

Like a striped pair of pants.

I recall the yellow cotton dress

I recall the yellow cotton dress,

It was foaming like a wave

It was foaming like a wave,

On the ground around your knees

On the ground around your knees.

The birds, like tender babies in your hands

The birds, like tender babies in your hands,

And the old men playing

And the old men playing checkers,

Checkers by the trees

By the trees.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,

All the sweet green icing flowing down

All the sweet, green icing flowing down.

Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain

Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain,

And I don't think that I can take it

And I don't think that I can take it,

'Cause it took so long to bake it

'Cause it took so long to bake it,

And I'll never have that recipe again

And I'll never have that recipe again.

Oh, no, oh no

Oh, no! Oh, no.

There will be another song for me

There will be another song for me,

For I will sing it

For I will sing it.

There will be another dream for me

There will be another dream for me,

Oh, someone will bring it

Oh, someone will bring it.

I will drink the wine while it is warm,

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun.

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And after all the loves of my life,

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life,

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

You'll still be the one, little girl.

Little girl

I will take my life into my hands,

I will take my life into my hands, I will use it

I will use it.

I will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose it

I will win the worship in their eyes,

I will have the things that I desire

Oh, and I will lose it.

And my passion flow like rivers through the sky

I will have the things that I desire,

And my passion flow like,

And after all the loves of my life

Rivers through the skies.

After all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life,

I'll be thinking of you

After all the loves of my...

And wondering why

I'll be thinking of you,

And wondering why.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

[Extended instrumental break featuring Jimmy Webb on piano.]

Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain

And I don't think that I can take it

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,

'Cause it took so long to bake it

All the sweet, green icing flowing down.

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain,

Oh no, oh no, no

And I don't think that I can take it,

'Cause it took so long to bake it,

And I'll never have that recipe again.

Oh, no! Oh, no.

Noooo!
