Mexico Lyrics by CAKE

Prolonging the Magic

1998

[Verse 1]
I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go-oh-oh-woah
Ha, ha, ha, la da-da

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah no, alright
Ah yeah, ho!)

[Verse 2]
I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
But I say I want you, and you don't believe me
You say you want me, but I've got my doubts

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go-oh-oh-woah
Ha, ha, ha, la da-da

[Post-Chorus]
(Alright, ah no, ah no!
Hey! Ho!
Ho! Hey!)

[Verse 1]
I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go-oh-oh-woah
Ha, ha, ha, a da-da
Alright
