The morning light shines in my eyes In this Acapulco paradise And when I woke up I could see Carmelita lying next to me Well I met her in town at a bar I guess I let it go a little to far Cause there we were in her bungalow And only one thing for certain I know The last thing I heard her say Let me make you a drink the Mexican way She made a mean margarita and it went to my head I'm tryin' to remember all the things that I said She made a mean margarita and it went to my head I don't know a damn thing I did In my face she was waving her hand On her finger was a gold wedding band
There were polaroid pictures of me Shakin' hands with a Mexican priest Well a panic ran clear up my spine What could I tell my Virginia this time There's only one way I can explain Her margarita it made me insane She made a mean margarita and it went to my head I'm tryin' to remember all the things that I said She made a mean margarita and it went to my head I don't know a damn thing I did She made a mean margarita and it went to my head I'm startin' to remember all the things that I said She made a mean margarita and it went to my head Why'd I do those thing that I did
