John Mellencamp - "Love at First Sight" - New Song

A great acoustic ballad from Mellencamp's forthcoming studio album "No Better Than This" -- in stores on Aug. 17, 2010.

Let's suppose you lived over here
Let's suppose I lived right over there
Let's suppose we shared a kiss
On a night like this
Let's suppose we went too far
In the back seat of your car
Let's suppose we fell in love
Like two turtle doves
And let's suppose we got engaged
Underneath that ol' Milky Way
And let's suppose we were complete
Wouldn't that be sweet
And let's suppose we found happiness
And built ourselves a nest
Let's supposed we had five kids
Like our grandparents did
And let's suppose our dreams came true
Just like they're supposed to do
And let's suppose we spent the rest of our lives together

But let's suppose sometimes we'd fight
When things weren't going right
Let's suppose you got tired of me
And our family
And let's suppose that we went broke
And we both just gave up hope
And let's suppose you left in a huff
Because you didn't love me enough
And let's supposed you found another man
And hit me in the head with a frying pan
And let's suppose I wound up dead
Underneath the bed
And what would happen to the kids
After all that we did
Let's suppose we both better just think it over

So I suppose it's just hello
And that it's time for us to go
We got a little ahead of ourselves
Like everybody else
Maybe some other time
I suppose that'd be just fine
So until we meet again
I suppose we're just friends
But remember what they say
'Cause it happens every day
I believe in love at first sight
So there, I said it
Good night

I have what I think is is an interesting story.

She walked out of a ladies room in Chula Vista, Ca. in '88 and I took one look and said to her sister; "I'm gonna marry her."

Her sister said; "She's already married but her hubby beats her."

"Don't try to confuse me with details," I said. "She's mine."

We were married a year later and she died in '99..

A Beautiful Song...

I love this record, so warm and rich. This song in particular is really a gem. Kudos John!

Words of the songs...give a path into which our emotions flow John sure has a way to open our hearts and let love flow in...his new CD is says sooo much about life, hope, love and sometimes despair....perhaps a reflection on is life & more! What money can do... if in greedy hands !! We all pay a price when it is miss used! It's never the money...it's the greed.. John has a way again to touch our hearts...make us think!! Thanks John!! Love the new sound!!

@MegaAldoN damn yes, in love with her since 24 September, and only this Saturday I had the chance to express myself, and her reaction was very nice. I wrote her poems and she read them in front of me, her reaction was like those words hit her deep inside her heart. We'll see what happens in the next days, my love for love is getting stronger and stronger day after day
