Lyrics

Carmen, carmen, carmen...

Tonight I am achin', my body is shakin'
Tonight carmen's comin' back home
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom
Tonight carmen's comin' back home

Tonight as I stand here, I notice my hand here
Is trembling as never before
My feelin's I can't hide, resistance has all died
My pride will rush outside
The moment she walks through the door

The lips that have kissed her
That's loved her and missed her
Are lips that have cursed her at night
In anguish and torment
I've cursed as the night went
From darkness 'till dawn's golden light

I've thought of just takin'
These two hands and breakin'
The body I'm waiting to touch
I find while I'm waiting
There's no time for hating
While anticipating
The woman I've wanted so much

I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours
I've put brand new sheets on the bed
I'm nervous, I'm tremblin', recallin', rememberin'
The way that she tosses her head

I've given much thought to
The fact that I ought to
Have more control over my life
How can I fight it, how can I deny it
There's no way to hide it
The love that I have for my wife

Carmen, carmen, carmen..
