Argentina (Parts I, II, III)
[Argentina Part: I]
Oh what a girl
I wish you had another sister
For me
I’d take her to the park
While you were at work
How many kinds of people do you think there really are
For me?
Enough to fill a room
Enough to fill a mall
One sunset falls on the sea
You are not crying
Oh what a girl
I wish we had a conversation
Face to face
Cuz when you speak
You speak in waves
But then you go into your secret place and hide
From me
I wanna look in all the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark corners
One season you wait and see
You are not crying
One lover turns into me
You are not crying
For me
Oh, Argentina!
Born in 1988
Give or take
We share bottles
We share gum
When you smile
You smile with all your teeth at once
Oh what a girl I want you wearing my t-shirt
X-L
Yeah! You wear it well!
How many kinds of people do you think there really are
For me?
I want to see you in the bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright morning
One sunset pink on the sea
You are not crying
One lover turns into me
You are not crying
For me
Oh, Argentina!
Born in 1988
Give or take a year or month or wedding day
We share bottles
We share gum
When you smile
You smile with all your teeth at once
And when you smile with all your teeth
Yeah, I’m done
And when you smile with all your teeth
Yeah, I’m done
I don’t want to want you like I want you
I don’t want to want you like I want you
I don’t want to want you like I want you
I don’t want to want you like I want you
I don’t want to want you like I want you
[Argentina Part: II]
Television wakes me up
With the sound of a gun
Feeling like I’m here alone
But I’m not the only one
You were lying next to me
Wearing someone else’s clothes
Have I been asleep for long
In the informercial glow? Whoa
Now I see the things that I have done
Everything in focus all at once
[Argentina Part: III]
When I was an infant
I could see it clear
When I was a lover
I could see it clear
And yeah
I could be a fool
Sometimes
But I was a lover
And I could see it clear
‘Cause if I had known
That you were
Only here for the weekend
‘Cause if I had only known
What you were thinking
I would have been
So, so, so, so
Much nicer
So, so, so, so
Much nicer
If I was a lighthouse
I would look all
Over the place
If I was an asshole
Thank you for keeping
A smile on your face
And yeah
I could be a fool
Most of the time
But I was a lover
And I could see it clear
‘Cause if I had known
That you were
Only here for the weekend
‘Cause if I had only known
What you were thinking
I would have been
So, so, so, so much nicer
So, so, so, so much nicer
Yeah
I can see it
I can see it
Clear
I can see it
Clear
