My Michelle (1986 Sound City Session) Lyrics
[Spoken Word Intro]
(Two, three)
[Verse 1]
Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy’s not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she’s underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
And you drive all your friends crazy
With your life’s insanity
[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can’t tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
[Verse 2]
Sowin’ all your wild oats
In another’s luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn’t free
So you can run party errand
And I’ll return the key
[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can’t tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
Well, well, well
You never can tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
[Bridge]
Everyone needs love
You know that it’s true
Someday somebody’s gonna
Fall in love with you
Whoa the time it takes
When you’re all alone
Someday you’ll find someone
That you can call your own
’Til then ya better–
Ow!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now you’re clean and so discreet
And I won’t say a word
Most of all, this song is true
In case you haven’t heard
But if you keep tryin’
We both know money burns
Don’t stop your cryin’ and you’ll get what you deserve
[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can’t tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
Well, well, well
You never can tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
Well, well, well
You just can’t tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
Well, well, well
You never can tell
Well, well, well
My Michelle
[Outro]
My, my, my Michele
My, my, my Michele
My, my, my Michele
My, my, my Michele
My, my, my Michelle
My-my-my-my-my-my-my-my Michelle
My-my-my-my-my-my-my-my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
