Carmelita
She tastes like cigarettes and coffee
She smells like citrus shampoo
She whispers softly into my ear
"Don't let me take you for a fool."
And when she sings, the whole world listens
She's got that sultry, velvet touch
Her lonesome brown eyes make me wonder
Can it really hurt that much?
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
Her bronze skin glistens in the morning light
Her dark hair shines under the sun
And when she laughs, the ocean rumbles with the tide
And I can't help but to laugh along
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
As I rifle through the pages
Of those dusty photographs
Every moment laid bare
Like it's etched in solid stone
And I'm just trying to get back
She tastes like cigarettes and coffee
She smells like citrus shampoo
She whispers softly into my ear
"Don't let me take you for a fool."
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
She smells like citrus shampoo
She whispers softly into my ear
"Don't let me take you for a fool."
And when she sings, the whole world listens
She's got that sultry, velvet touch
Her lonesome brown eyes make me wonder
Can it really hurt that much?
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
Her bronze skin glistens in the morning light
Her dark hair shines under the sun
And when she laughs, the ocean rumbles with the tide
And I can't help but to laugh along
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
As I rifle through the pages
Of those dusty photographs
Every moment laid bare
Like it's etched in solid stone
And I'm just trying to get back
She tastes like cigarettes and coffee
She smells like citrus shampoo
She whispers softly into my ear
"Don't let me take you for a fool."
Carmelita, don't you leave me
Holding on for one last breath
Those summer days that felt
Like we were running through the clouds
And getting high have faded
So, Carmelita don't you leave me now
