Kid Creole & The Coconuts Bogota Affair Lyrics

You say you saw my love in Bogota
Oh, no, no she in Havana
She got no relative in Bogota
All her people are in Cuba
No, it couldn't be Carmela
It was some other muchacha
And, as bad as your eyes are
I forgive the mistake

You say you saw my love in Bogota
(Si señor)
That you stopped and you spoke to her
(Si señor)
What was she doing in Bogota
(por favor)
Oh, you promised to lie for her
(Si señor)
Well, if she asked you not to speak of it
Oh, then why did you tell me this
Don't you know ignorance is bliss
And, true love is blind

Don't you hurt me, bro
Shoo shoo
Go, man, go
Shoo shoo
Shoo shoo

If she, if she, if she, if she asked you, asked you not to speak of it
Oh, then why did you tell me this
Don't you know, don't you know ignorance is bliss
I'd rather you lie
Lie
Lie Lie
Don't hurt me!

Viste mi amor en Bogota
Oh, no, ella es de Havana
No tiene familia en Bogota
Su familia de Cuba
Mira, no puede ser Carmela
Debe ser otra muchacha
Y, como sigues puesta ciego
Yo te voy perdonar

Viste mi amor en Bogota
(sí, señor)
Para [?] con ella
(si, senor)
Ella te lo de amor en Bogota
(por, favor)
Y prometiste mentir por ella
(si, senor)
Si te pidio no repitelo
(oh, no)
Di me por qué me lo diste
(oh, no, no, no)
Mi amor es ignorancia ciega
(sí, sí)
You mas prefiero soñar
(sí, sí seńor)

If you know something I don't know
About the girl that I love so
Shut your mouth
Go Away
Come again some other day

If you know something I don't know
About the girl that I love so
Shut your mouth
Go Away
Come again some other day
