Carmelita lyrics

(Leroy Parnell/Steve Wariner)

Chorus:
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
I`ve been sittin` here starin` out the window
Huggin` on the telephone
I`ve been searchin` my mind tryin` hard to find
Somethin` that I did wrong
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

I called your mama and your sister
I even called your daddy too
He said listen here mister yeah this one`s up to you
He said you know I love my baby
But she`s hard headed like her mom
I`ve already fought that battle now yours has just begun

Chorus:
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
I`ve been sittin` here starin` out the window
Huggin` on the telephone
I`ve been searchin` my mind tryin` hard to find
Somethin` that I did wrong
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

Instrumental

You know you really got me shook up
Yeah, you really cut me down to size
But I`m never gonna give up `til I look you in the eyes
And I hear your explanation
And you seal it with a kiss
It`s gonna take a ton of your lovin` to get me over this

Chorus:
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
I`ve been sittin` here starin` out the window
Huggin` on the telephone
I`ve been searchin` my mind tryin` hard to find
Somethin` that I did wrong
Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

(spoken)
Girl why you been gone so long
You are killin` me
Thats right
Get back here

Come on now...
