Lyrics

I love it when you call me Señorita

I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya

But every touch is ooh-la-la-la

It's true la-la-la

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you keep me coming

For ya

Land in Miami

The air was hot from summer rain

Sweat dripping off me

Before I even knew her name la-la-la

It felt like ooh-la-la-la

Yeah, no

Sapphire moonlight

We danced for hours in the sand

Tequila Sunrise

Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la

It felt like ooh-la-la-la

Yeah

I love it when you call me Señorita

I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya

But every touch is ooh-la-la-la

It's true la-la-la

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you know I love it

When you call me Señorita

I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya

But every touch is ooh-la-la-la

It's true la-la-la

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you keep me coming

For ya

Locked in the hotel

There's just some things that never change

You say, "We're just friends."

But friends don't know the way you taste-la-la-la

'Cause you know it's been a long time comin'

Don't you let me fall, oh

Ooh, when your lips undress me

Hooked on your tongue

Ooh, love, your kiss is deadly

Don't stop

I love it when you call me Señorita

I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya

But every touch is ooh-la-la-la

It's true la-la-la

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you know I love it

When you call me Señorita

I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya

But every touch is ooh-la-la-la

It's true la-la-la

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you keep me coming

For ya

All along I'll be coming for ya (for ya)

And I hope it meant something to ya

Call my name, I'll be comin' for ya (comin' for ya)

Comin' for ya (comin' for ya)

For ya, for ya (oh, she loves it when I call her), for ya

Ooh, I should be running

Ooh, you keep me coming

For ya
