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
oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go

i don´t know much about cinco de mayo
i´m never sure what it´s all about
i say i want you, and you don´t believe me
you say you want me, but i´ve got my doubts

oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go

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
oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go
