Spanish Lessons
Sid Denison & the Harpooners

You are inscrutable, mysterious, unfathomable
Can’t understand you but you’re eminently lovable
I’m lost for words in your presence you confuse me every time
Every time
Every time I look into your eyes
I get a feeling things aren’t right, I get a feeling of ill ease
Like I’m a man who’s spent a year learning Spanish for you
Only to discover, that you speak Portuguese

You’re out of my league, out of my reach, I am out of my mind
To even contemplate you’d contemplate that you would be mine
I wake at night in a cold sweat and it’s all because of you
It’s you
It’s your unobtainability that tortures me
That churns me up inside
Like I’m standing at the roller-coaster smaller than the sign that says:
“You must be at least this big to ride”

The only thing I know for sure with you
Is when I’m standing next to you my heart beats faster
