Last Tango

You're scheduled on the midnight flight
I hope that second class will be alright
That's all I could afford
I packed your things, I checked your drawers
I changed the locks on all doors
I made your bed, I paid your board
You won't be home again

This is our last tango
Trip with me one last fandango
Let me lead, señorita for once in your life
I'm gonna send you back to San Remo
I can't be your el supremo anymore
I can't be your matador, for this is our last tango

I guess that I deserve to lose
I knew I shouldn't trust a girl
Who bore a name like Vera Cruz
But through the Jose Cuervo she
Was everything she never was to me
She just could do no wrong
She won't be home again

This is our last tango
Trip with me one last fandango
Let me lead, señorita for once in your life
I'm gonna send you back to San Remo
I can't be your el supremo anymore
I can't be your matador, for this is our last tango

Someday on a summer's nite
I'll feel your sultry breath upon my neck
And hear your lovely lies
But right now I can only see
The checkered cab outside the door
With meter ticking patiently
For you to step inside

This is our last tango
Trip with me one last fandango
Let me lead, señorita for once in your life
I'm gonna send you back to San Remo
I can't be your el supremo anymore
I can't be your matador, anymore
This is our last tango
Trip with me one last fandango, oh yeah
