Why am I always yearning for Teresa When there is Peggy, Margarite and Mary Jane Why does my heart keep burnin' for Teresa When I know that lovin' her is all in vain Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete Nevertheless there's only one I dream of Teresa, Teresa my love Why is he always yearning for Teresa When we have charms and we have arms to love him so, love him so Why does his heart keep burning for Teresa When we'd give all the world just to have him alone for our beau Whenever we are near him our hearts begin to dance For he looks at us so tenderly that we think we stand a chance Nevertheless there's only one he dreams of Teresa, Teresa his love Why am I always yearning for Teresa When there are other girls that I can be around Oh how I hate to hear that name Teresa What's she got that I have not I'd like to know Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete In spite of it all there's only one he dreams of Teresa Teresa my love I haven't found the answer, and chances are I might If he knew the way to capture her, his future would be bright Nevertheless there's only one we dream of Teresa No one but Teresa Teresa, Teresa my love
