I was looking for a girl like you
With your guardian eyes all crystal blue
Thought I had it made this time around
I was waiting for the world to end
With my twisted heart still on the mend
Guess I didn't know where I was bound

You appeared as I was leaving for the other side
Now I've nowhere left to hide
'Cause my heart won't be denied

Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight
Not tonight

Carmencita, with your red dress on
There's no chance in hell I will leave alone
I just want to leave it all behind
Carmencita, with your silver hands
There's a chance for me to make amends
If you could believe me this one time

You appeared as I was leaving for the other side
Now I've nowhere left to hide
'Cause my heart won't be denied
Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight

Seven days to Carmencita
Seven ways to lose my mind
Seven days to Carmencita
Seven days, and I know, I know I'm going blind

Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight
Not tonight
