Carmen..Carmen...Carmen...



Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking

Tonight Carmen's coming back home

Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom

Tonight Carmen's coming back home.



Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here

Is trembling as never before

My feelings I can't hide, resistance has all died

My pride will rush outside

The moment she walks through the door.



The lips that have kissed her,

That's loved her and missed her

Are lips that have cursed her at night

In anguish and torment, I've cursed as the night went

From darkness till dawn's golden light

I thought of just taking these two hands and breaking

The body I'm waiting to touch

I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating

While anticipating, the woman I've wanted so much.



I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours

I put brand new sheets on the bed

I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling remembering

The way that she tosses her head.



I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to

have more control over my life

How can I fight it, how can I deny it,

There's no way to hide it

The love that I have for my wife.
