Lyrics

{chorus}
Why, why do you love me?
Why do you think you need me?
Steel tip shoes and a little bolero
That's why you love me madly
Reluctant matador

Children throw their hats to me
I feel I've failed them terribly
Castanets fill the air
Hope nobody knows I'm scared

Ordinarily I'd just get swept away, I lose my sight
But then you say to me that you'll be waiting here tonight

{chorus}

No matter what I say or do
I just can't calm the raging bull
Maybe one day I'll get wise
And I'll put on my cape and tie

Ordinarily I'd just get swept away, I lose my sight
But then you say to me that you'll be waiting here tonight

{chorus}
SOLO

And then you say to me that you'll be waiting here tonight
For no apparent reason everything just falls in line

Why, why do you love me?
Why do you think you need me?
I talk about love like I want to be Pharoh
That's why you should ignore a
Reluctant matador

The pretty roses all around
Will soon be trampled underground
One señorita's smiling face
Tells me not to run away

{chorus}
Why, why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
