Last 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.

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
