Artist/Band: John Mellencamp
Lyrics for Song: Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)
Lyrics for Album: Words & Music [2004]



In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners

At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin black market shoes

This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon

No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues



She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder

Christ, what's she doing with him she could be dancing with me

She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger

I want to be what she's drinking, yeah I just want to be



I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin

But I saw you first



On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo

Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car

She flies like a bird over his shoulder

Se whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star



But I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

Yes I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin.....



In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'

The radio is playin, she left her shoes out in the back

He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky

He just made that story up, there ain't no girl like that



But I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

Yes I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin

But I saw you first

I saw you first
