Paul Simon - Señorita with a Necklace of Tears lyrics
[Paul Simon - Señorita with a Necklace of Tears lyrics]
I have a wisdom tooth inside my crowded face
I have a friend who is a born-again
Found his savior's grace
I was born before my father
And my children before me
We are born and born again like
The waves of the sea
That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be
Nothing but good news
There is a frog in South America
Whose venom is a cure
For all the suffering that
Mankind must endure
More powerful than morphine and
Soothing as the rain
A frog in South America has
The antidote for pain
That's the way it's always been
And that's the way I like it
Some people never say no
Some people never complain
Some folks have no idea
And others will never explain
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
If I could play all the memories
In the neck of my guitar
I would write a song called "Señorita
With a Necklace of Tears"
And every tear a sin I'd
Committed all these many years
That's who I was
That's the way it's always been
Some people always want more
Some people are what they lack
Some folks open the door, walk away
And never look back
I don't want to be a judge and
I don't want to be a jury
I know who I am, Lord knows who I will be
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
I have a friend who is a born-again
Found his savior's grace
I was born before my father
And my children before me
We are born and born again like
The waves of the sea
That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be
Nothing but good news
There is a frog in South America
Whose venom is a cure
For all the suffering that
Mankind must endure
More powerful than morphine and
Soothing as the rain
A frog in South America has
The antidote for pain
That's the way it's always been
And that's the way I like it
Some people never say no
Some people never complain
Some folks have no idea
And others will never explain
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
If I could play all the memories
In the neck of my guitar
I would write a song called "Señorita
With a Necklace of Tears"
And every tear a sin I'd
Committed all these many years
That's who I was
That's the way it's always been

That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and
That's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
