Lyrics
Tango
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
