What can the problem be?
Sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me?

She lived across the street
On the fifteenth floor of the Gilmore building
I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap
I knew she had to be the girl for me
And to think I probably never would have found her
If I hadn't bought that telescope

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be?
Sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me?

I just can't understand it
Why won't you return my phone calls?
Are you still mad I gave a mohawk to your cat?
If you'd just say the word,
I'm certain that our love would last forever and ever
Or are you too dumb to realize that?

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be?
Sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me?

How can you ignore me, when you know that I can't live without you?
I have to go through your garbage just to learn more about you
Melanie
Oh sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me?

You weren't impressed when I tattooed your name across my forehead
You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true
I couldn't stand it, so I jumped out from the sixteenth story
Window right above you
Now I may be dead but I still love you.

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be?
Sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me?
