I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, i was bound for mexico
Oh baby, i was bound to let you go


I don't know much about cinco de mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
I say i want you, and you don't believe me
You say you want me, but i've got my doubts


Oh baby, i was bound for mexico
Oh baby, i was bound to let you go


I had a match, but she had a lighter
