La Lotería
Adriana Rios
The Lottery
I hit the jackpot
With all the men in my life
But not exactly how I had it in mind
What bad luck I have
Unlucky in the game and also in love
To deal a bad hand
And what I got is just messed up
I wanted the brave one and got the drunk
Having to watch his drinking and good for starting some fights
I wanted the rooster and got the deer
Who was out there cheating all over the place
I wanted the classy guy and got the shrimp
Who had a nice body
But the face? Not so much
I asked for the Moon, the Sun, and the stars
And the bastard couldn't even afford a bottle
I played the lottery and winning wasn't in the cards
I'm not one to back down and in the next round
I'm betting double or nothing
Pass the bottle, 'cause that card never goes wrong
When have you seen a mermaid crying over a cactus?
Going for another little drink, not for the little guy
The kitty hasn't come up in the deck yet
I wanted the brave one and got the drunk
Having to watch his drinking and well
To start some fights
I wanted the rooster and got the deer
Who was out there cheating all over the place
I wanted the classy guy and got the shrimp
Who had a nice body and the face? Not so much
I asked for the Moon, the Sun, and the stars
And my day ends, the lottery doesn't move, and winning wasn't in the cards
I'm not one to back down
And like a good Mexican, I'm betting double or nothing
