god don't make lonely girls

Senorita
Looks like you ain't done nothing
good women ain't supposed to do
Oh no no no no
I seen her downtown
About an hour ago
Behind the glass at a peep show
I got nervous 'cause I don't know
Can she see me behind that window?

It's almost nine and I'm back in line
I can't get the girl with the Spanish tears
Out of my mind
I've got to make her mine, all mine
But something is wrong
She don't belong
She ought to be back where she's from
Maybe back home is Mexico City
Man, I don't know her
But she sure is pretty

Chorus:
But God don't make lonely girls
Sure didn't want them in His world
God don't make lonely girls
Yeah, yeah, doo doo doo doo

Now when I make that girl all mine
I'm going to stand by her
Once I get inside of
Her barbed wire
Once I get inside
I bet she'd look good in a brand new dress
She never felt good in her fish net
She's got to be this town's best mess
But it ain't nothing that her face would suggest

(chorus)

I've got to make her see
I'm a guarantee
Oh if she'd only come along with me
Well I can make her see
Going to take a walk right through these walls
'Cause she's coming home with me
I ain't even gonna touch her at all
Man, I'm only gonna lay awake and watch her sleep

(chorus)
