Steve Wariner - Carmelita Lyrics

[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]

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]
