Saw her on a Friday outside someone run down saloon
 She was cryin over someone she felt left much too soon 
 I said, hey girl don't you cry tonight
 let me take you out on this town
 She looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground
 with half a wink she asked me would I use some kind of creep
 I told her no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep
 the moon hung over soho
 and I counted 16 stars
 I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours
 She's a dandelion, up on her hill above the sea
 she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
 
 She's a dandelion
 she looks like everything I need
 I thought she was a flower
 but I found out she's a weed
 
 Then I hold on hold on hold on
 hold on hold on hold on
 She might just be poison
 but I took her to my roof top
 I said are you afraid of heights,
 she said no I am not
 I said hey girl don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel
 we danced around in circles,
 she said I think we found something real
 She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
 she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
 
 she's a dandelion
 she looks like everything I need
 I thought she was a flower
 but I found out she's a weed
 
 Then I hold on hold on hold on
 hold on hold on hold on
 Down in union square
 I saw her walking all alone
 I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown
 she met someone on seventeenth that she knew him all too well
 my little piece of heaven has a secret she won't tell
 with half a smile she took his hand
 and then they walked away
 I realized I would not see my girl after today
 
 I fell in love with a dandelion
 and she's all I ever had
 at first she looked so sweet
 but in the end she tastes so bad
 She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
 she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
 
 she's a dandelion
 she looks like everything I need
 I thought she was a flower
 but I found out she's a weed
 
 Then I hold on hold on hold on
 hold on hold on hold on
 And I tell myself
 hold on hold on hold on
 hold on hold on hold on
 yeah hold on
 She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
 she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
 
 She's a dandelion
 she looks like everything I need
 I thought she was a flower
 but I found out she's a weed
 
 Then I hold on hold on hold on
 hold on hold on hold on
