Lyrics
Mexico
Left my heart on a sandy beach
Where the sun is warm
And the living is sweet
Where the skin grows brown
And the waves crash about my feet
Way down in Mexico
Way down in Mexico, baby
Is where I want to be
Seems like forever
Since I said goodbye
So won?t you take me back my friend
If only for a little while
To where the days are soft
Soft and warm
And the nights are so soft
So soft and warm
Won?t you take me back to Mexico
Won?t you take me back to Mexico
Won?t you take me back to Mexico
It?s where I long to be
On a sandy beach with you
On a sandy beach with you
