Señorita with a Necklace of Tears

[Verse 1]

I have a wisdom tooth inside my crowded face

I have a friend who is a born-again, found his savior's grace

I was born before my father and my children before me

We are born and born again like the waves of the sea

[Refrain]

That's the way it's always been

And that's how I want it to be

That's the way it's always been

And that's how I want it to be

[Verse 2]

Nothing but good news

There is a frog in South America whose venom is a cure

For all the suffering that mankind must endure

More powerful than morphine and soothing as the rain

A frog in South America has the antidote for pain

[Refrain]

That's the way it's always been

And that's the way I like it

[Pre-Chorus]

Some people never say no

Some people never complain

Some folks have no idea

And others will never explain

[Chorus]

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it

And that's how I want it to be

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it

And that's how I want it to be

[Verse 3]

If I could play all the memories in the neck of my guitar

I would write a song called "Señorita with a Necklace of Tears"

And every tear a sin I'd committed all these many years

That's who I was, that's the way it's always been

[Verse 4]

Some people always want more, some people are what they lack

Some folks open the door, walk away, and never look back

I don't want to be a judge and I don't want to be a jury

I know who I am, Lord knows who I will be

[Chorus]

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it

And that's how I want it to be

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it

And that's how I want it to be
