"Melody Cool" lyrics

Mavis Staples Lyrics

"Melody Cool"
(from "Graffiti Bridge" soundtrack)

I've seen a many bridges in my time and crossed every one of 'em
With no trouble at all (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had trials and tribulations, heartaches and pains (well that's alright)
Survived 'em all, baby (uh huh, say it, say it!)
Hm, I'm still Melody, and I'm still cool
Melody Cool

They call me "Melody Cool" (Melody, Melody)
I was here long before you (Melody, Melody)
If you're good, I will love ya, (Melody) but I'm nobody's fool (Melody)
I'm Melody Cool

When I was born there were tidal waves (Melody, Melody)
Whole town went under, nobody saved (Melody, Melody)
At every funeral, it rained every time I sang
Melody Cool

I have been here much longer, (Melody) longer than you (Melody)
I'm Melody Cool

Well, now, everybody running 'round talking 'bout saving souls
When they know good and plenty well they got enough trouble
Trying to save their own
(Alright, say it, say it girl)

(Melody... Melody... Melody)

Go on, go on
Every woman and every man (Melody)
One day, they just got to understand (Melody)
That if we play in the same key everything will be
Melody Cool

(Melody, Melody, Melody, Melody)
What's your name? (Melody, Melody)
New power, wave your hand
Everybody, sing out across the land
Say hey hey hey (hey hey hey)
Say hey hey hey (hey hey hey)
Everybody, say hey hey hey (hey hey hey)

They call me "Melody Cool" (Melody, Melody, Melody)
