lyrics

Melina
(words and music by Sam Pointer)

Melina, she stole my watch and chain
Lord, that woman, she drove me out in the rain
I don’t know why she want to treat me that way
But I know as long as she wants me to, I’ll stay

Melina, she saw right through my heart
Lord, that woman, she tore the poor thing apart
I don’t know why she want to treat me that way
But I know as long as she wants me to, I’ll stay

Melina, she’s cold to me at night
Lord, she turns her back when she turns out the light
I don’t know why she want to treat me that way
But I know as long as she wants me to I’ll stay

Melina, she don’t know right from wrong
Lord, she’d leave her lovin’ man, leave me for a song
I don’t know why she want to treat me that way
But I know as long as she wants me to, I’ll stay
Yes I know as long as she wants me to, I'll stay
