Down at the cantina Songtext
Tonight the town is empty
Streets deserted, dark and lonely
Where the lights are warm and glowing
Love is lying arm in arm
While down at the cantina
Gypsy barmaids dream
Is he checking out a fortune
Is he checking out bracletes and a charm
And a charm
Friends look at me and worry
'Cause times I get discouraged
My feelings get so blurry
I get so withdrawn inside
And at those times you feel I scare you
When I can't show my real care for you
Are the times I get scared too

I try too hard, a little too shy
Like a little boy when you look into my eyes
You've got other lovers, you know so do I
I won't say my arms are the answer to your life
Somehow this time it feels so right
And if yours are really empty now
Mine are empty too
So baby, come with me
Please stay in mine tonight

I'm not asking you to trust me, judge me, or protect me
Place yourself above me, get heavy, or criticize my life
This love is like electric wire
Memories mixed up with desire
Changes feel like ice and fire
Sometimes I think
They make us both get so jammed up inside

I try too hard, a little too shy
Like a little boy when you look into my eyes
You've got other lovers, you know so do I
I won't say my arms are the answer to your life
Somehow this time it feels so right
And if yours are really empty now
Mine are empty too
So baby, come with me
Please stay in mine tonight
