I want a woman who is fatal as poison Who'll break my heart, leave me full of pain I wanna walk home like a Hemingway hero My cigarette glowing in the rain I should have the chance To make you do that dance Before the music's gone And the band plays on and on People tell me that you're running in the nighttime With dancing men in tangled webs behind But I don't want it to be spider and fly time One pirouette, I could change my mind If we do that dance Fall into a trance Will my heart be torn As the band plays on and on? Your love is like a tango, tango With a dancer whose face I can't see Your love is like a tango, tango Shadow girl, you're a mystery Your love is like a tango, tango With a dancer whose face I can't see Your love is like a tango, tango Shadow girl, you're a mystery I wish that every guy could have the chance To take you in his arms and make you do that dance And when it's over and the music's gone We dance forever and the band plays on I should have the chance To make you do that dance Before the music's gone And the band plays on and on Your love is like a tango, tango With a dancer whose face I can't see Your love is like a tango, tango Shadow girl, you're a mystery Your love is like a tango, tango With a dancer whose face I can't see Your love is like a tango, tango Shadow girl, you're a mystery Your love, tango, tango Your love, tango, tango Your love, tango, tango Your love, tango, tango
