07 Esmerelda

Esmerelda took a shine to me
Why couldn’t she let me be
Oh Baby
Yeah baby

She took me places that I’ve never been
She showed me things I’ll never see again
The look in her eye, the touch of her hand
Cast a spell on a desperate man
Magnetized and mesmerized
I saw a glance I thought I recognized

Esmerelda took a shine to me
Why couldn’t she let me be
Oh Baby
Yeah baby
She did me in you know she done me right
She stoked my fire and she lit my light
Ooh baby
Yeah Baby

I didn’t think that I mistook the look
I didn’t know she read me like a book
Dizzy and dazed amused and amazed
Stumbled out in a perfumed haze
I thought I was cleaver
I thought it was fun
But good God almighty what have I done

Esmerelda took a shine to me
Why couldn’t she let me be
Oh Baby
Yeah baby
She did me in you know she done me right
She stoked my fire and she lit my light
Ooh baby
Oh baby baby baby… oh look out

I thought I was cleaver
I thought it was fun
But good God almighty what have I done

Esmerelda took a shine to me
Why couldn’t she let me be
Oh Baby
Yeah baby
She did me in you know she done me right
She stoked my fire and she lit my light
Ooh baby
Oh Baby baby baby
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh no
