She was only seventeen when she walked into my life

She had her head filled with dreams and she wanted to strive

She wasn't afraid to say or do the things to get what she wanted

And she could use and seduce a man with just one hand, it was all or nothing

That was her plan



Chorus:

She wanted to be free and to have it all

She didn't want to fall, fall in love with me

Then she had to see, she had to let it go

'cause it takes only two to tango



She was only seventeen when I gave her my heart

She would look into my eyes, and tell me lies

She knew what she wanted from the start

Yo la queria

Oh how I need her

But love sometimes ain't what it seems to be

Tantas mentiras

She's a deceiver

But she didn't know

That the best things in life are for free



Chorus (twice)



And in a lonely carbaret she danced her life away

And as she moved her feet, erased the memories

And with each tear I cry, I stop to wonder why

She never danced with me



She...



Chorus (twice)
