I Should Have Left Yesterday

As I walk the crowded streets through the cities of Mexico
I can't help but tell myself "Boy you better get back home"
That senorita got the best of me but I keep going back for more
Her hot Spanish blood steals away my love
And I'm afraid what my heart's in for

I should have left yesterday, said adios to a lifetime of pain
And I could have left yesterday
Before she drew me back once again
With a soft Spanish smile she said I'm hers just awhile
I am only her American game

Hot days and sleepless nights oh the life of Mexico
I found romance in the Latin dance in sunny Acapulco
Oh senorita in this world of yours is there room for yet one more
Your hot Spanish blood steals away my love
And I'm afraid what my heart's in for

I should have left yesterday, said adios to a lifetime of pain
And I could have left yesterday
Before she drew me back once again
With a soft Spanish smile she said I'm hers just awhile
I am only her American game

I should have left yesterday, said adios to a lifetime of pain
And I could have left yesterday
Before she drew me back once again
With a soft Spanish smile she said I'm hers just awhile
I am only her American game

With a soft Spanish smile she said I'm hers just a while
I am only her American game
