[Chorus]
She’s a melody in search of the words "I love you"
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s the partner that nobody chose

[Verse 1]
Oh, she’s tried and she’s tried and she’s tried to keep on trying
But everything she tried fell apart
Oh, she's loved and she's loved and she'd love to keep on loving
But every man she loved broke her heart

[Chorus]
She’s a melody in search of the words "I love you"
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s a refuge where nobody goes

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, she’s fallen and stumbled and stumbled and fallen
And no one picked her up when she fell
She stood up with hopes up that someone would show up
Someday you never can tell
[Chorus]
She’s a melody in search of the words "I love you"
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s the partner that nobody chose

She’s a melody in search of the words "I love you"
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s a refuge where nobody goes
Oh, she’s lonesome and nobody knows
