Carmelita

(Leroy Parnell/Steve Wariner)
 Chorus:
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
 Huggin' on the telephone
 I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find
 Somethin' that I did wrong
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 I called your mama and your sister
 I even called your daddy too
 He said listen here mister yeah this one's up to you
 He said you know I love my baby
 But she's hard headed like her mom
 I've already fought that battle now yours has just begun
 Chorus:
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
 Huggin' on the telephone
 I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find
 Somethin' that I did wrong
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 Instrumental
 You know you really got me shook up
 Yeah, you really cut me down to size
 But I'm never gonna give up 'til I look you in the eyes
 And I hear your explanation
 And you seal it with a kiss
 It's gonna take a ton of your lovin' to get me over this
 Chorus:
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
 Huggin' on the telephone
 I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find
 Somethin' that I did wrong
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long
 (spoken)
 Girl why you been gone so long
 You are killin' me
 Thats right
 Get back here
 Come on now...
