Met a little senorita named Margarita down in Mexico

She taught me more about love in a day or two than I'll ever know

I had to go back across the Rio Grande

And leave that little girl behind

I can't believe how heavy she's laying on my mind

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad

I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back

Give me the salt and the lime

So I can taste her and hold her one last time

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad

Those eyes and that smile they drove me while, I just couldn't resist

I couldn't get enough from our first touch to our last kiss

I never understood a single word she said

Oh but she left no doubt

When she spoke to me in the language of love

She turned my world inside out

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad

I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back

Give me the salt and the lime

So I can taste her and hold her one last time

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad
