Mellow Fellow

I've been trying, trying, trying, trying, trying (Yeah)

Lord knows I've been trying (Yeah)

But no matter, no matter how hard I try

I just can't (Can't, can't give him up)

And I won't (Won't, won't give him up)

Oh, and I can't, no (Can't, can't give him up)

These mellow fellows

Every time I walk down the street

Nothing but cool cats do I meet

Continental suits fitting to a T

They got Slim Jim ties sharp as can be

That's why I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No, no, no, no, and I won't (Won't, won't give him up)

Oh, and I can't, no (Can't, can't give him up)

These mellow fellows

Sports cars, Cadillacs, Mustangs of a plenty

Telephones, record players, and a who knows how many

Diamond rings, watches, alpaca sweaters

They got alligator shoes and coats made out of leather

That's why I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No, no, no, no, and I won't (Won't, won't give him up)

Oh, and I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

These mellow fellows

Come to take you out, then they meet your mom and dad

Say a few nice words, then you split from the pad

Make a few stops in all the swinging places

They can introduce you to all the popular faces

That's why I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No, no, no, no, and I won't (Won't, won't give him up)

Oh, and I can't, no, no (Can't, can't give him up)

These mellow fellows

On the way home, he might stop and wanna park

Hug and squeeze and try to kiss you in the dark

They got a strong conversation, and we girls go for it

It's something these cats got in the world, I don't know it

That's why I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No, no, no, no, and I won't (Won't, won't give him up)

Oh, and I can't, no, no (Can't, can't give him up)

These mellow fellows

No, no, and I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No, no, no, no, and I won't, no, no (Won't, won't give him up)

I try hard and I can't (Can't, can't give him up)

No matter what I do and I won't (Won't, won't give him up)
