Spanish boys'll greet you

With that old obscene refrain

The sadness of a thousand

Waiting window panes

Gypsy boys'll beat you

at your own familiar game

While the whore on the corner

Drags that same old ball and chain



They make better lovers

Or so I've been told

Under the covers

That's where you discover

If your man is whole

They don't come easy

But they're worth the time

And if you please me

Maybe I'll let you be mine



Latin boys are easy

They'll touch you with their eyes

Handle you the way they need

Without disguise

Gypsy boys'll fool you

Into global compromise

While occasional candy

Keeps your belly satisfied



[CHORUS]



They say they only hurt you

Because they're hurting themselves

And they don't mean to

Dry up all your wishing wells

They say you should be truthful

But you know sometimes they lie

And though it isn't meant to

It still tears me up inside



[CHORUS
