Tangerine you're ripe on the tree
And then you fall
But don't we all
My sweet tangerine

And I don't want to be there
When you fall
And do we have
Just this one chance that's all

Tangerine my favorite color
Next to green
Beautiful scene
So fleeting it seems

And I don't want to be there
When you fall
And do we have
Just this one chance that's all

Tangerine falling
Out of the sky
Tangerine calling
"Why?"

Tangerine so luscious sweet
In a world so mean
When you go you'll
Be everything but green

And I don't want to be there
When you fall
And do we have
Just this one chance that's all
