And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
Someone will bring it
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
Like a striped pair of pants
On the ground around your knees
And after all the loves of my life
'Cause it took so long to bake it
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
Foaming like a wave
I will have the things that I desire
I recall the yellow cotton dress
I'll be thinking of you and wondering why
There will be another song for me
I will drink the wine while it is warm
After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
Between the parted pages
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
Someone left the cake out in the rain
For I will sing it
I don't think that I can take it
And were pressed in love's hot, fevered iron
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
And after all the loves of my life
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
There will be another dream for me
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
As we followed in the dance
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
Oh, after all the loves of my life
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And the old men playing checkers, by the trees
And I'll never have that recipe again
