Caballero

With a grunt every morning
You woke up your beloved
And she responded with sadness
At your lack of tenderness
With a cup of coffee

And she was left alone and empty
Waiting for the man she knew
The one she talked about to her sisters
With the smile of a girl in love
And the innocence of sixteen

And you thought you were a gentleman
And you thought you were the king of the world
But how can someone be so blind
To let a love like that slip away

And understand me if I don’t apologize
Because I assure you it wasn’t my intention
To find love that sunset
When I approached, puzzled, a woman
Who wouldn’t stop crying

And you thought you were a gentleman
And you thought you were the king of the world
But how can someone be so blind
To let a love like that slip away

And I advise you from my experience
To start taking good notes
Because you’re going to need new tricks
Before you can pack your bags
And start walking again

And you thought you were a gentleman
And you thought you were the king of the world
But how can someone be so blind
To let a love like that slip away
