She was only seventeen when she walked into my life She had her head filled with dreams and she wanted to strive She wasn't afraid to say or do the things to get what she wanted And she could use and seduce a man with just one hand, it was all or nothing That was her plan
Chorus: She wanted to be free and to have it all She didn't want to fall, fall in love with me Then she had to see, she had to let it go 'cause it takes only two to tango
She was only seventeen when I gave her my heart She would look into my eyes, and tell me lies She knew what she wanted from the start Yo la queria Oh how I need her But love sometimes ain't what it seems to be Tantas mentiras She's a deceiver But she didn't know That the best things in life are for free
Chorus (twice)
And in a lonely carbaret she danced her life away And as she moved her feet, erased the memories And with each tear I cry, I stop to wonder why She never danced with me
