[Verse 1]
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
[Chorus]
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it
Lord, it took so long to bake it
I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
[Verse 2]
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
The old men playing checkers by the trees
[Chorus]
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it
Lord, it took so long to bake it
I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
[Chorus]
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it
Lord, it took so long to bake it
I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
[Verse 2]
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
The old men playing checkers by the trees
[Chorus]
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it
Lord, it took so long to bake it
I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
