The Beat Songtext
I′ve never seen a girl like you in this place before
Walked up to me and tore a little piece from my heart
I cried for hours when I saw you go into the back room
I felt as if my world was falling apart
My friends said, "See you later"
Well it isn't that they hate her
Wait a minute, wait a minute for me!
There′s a bar in Monte Carla, with crystal blinds and velvet seats
They give you good measure, and just for good measure I bought her a few
But she didn't want my money nor my invitations, I was a fool
She lifted my spirits and she lifted my wallet too... then she left
My friends said, "See you later"
Well it isn't that they hate her
Wait a minute, wait a minute for me!
Arriba!
Aie yie yie yi!
I lie awake at night with a vision of you burnin′ in my brain
Rain on my window and the flashin′ of a neon light
And I think to myself, I will never ever see you again
My friends will say that it will probably serve me right
My friends said, "See you later"
Well it isn't that they hate her
Wait a minute, wait a minute for me!
Cheeta!
Walked up to me and tore a little piece from my heart

There′s a bar in Monte Carla, with crystal blinds and velvet seats
They give you good measure, and just for good measure I bought her a few
But she didn't want my money nor my invitations, I was a fool

My friends said, "See you later"
Well it isn't that they hate her
Wait a minute, wait a minute for me!
Cheeta!
