Gulf of Mexico

Girl, you know that I like you

The real reason why I'm calling you here

Is just to say my goodbyes to you

But you say, "Please don't go

Please don't go back to the Gulf of Mexico"

Girl, you know that I've loved you so

You know I really ought to thank you a lot

'Cause there was no one above you

But you say, "Please don't go

Please don't go back to the Gulf of Mexico"

But you know the Thames runs too slow

So please let me go back to the Gulf of Mexico

Oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Girl, you know that I've loved you so

And one day you will understand

If I'd have stayed I'd be half the man

So please let me go

I'm in need of a shot of soul from the Gulf of Mexico

And you know the Thames runs too slow

So please let me go back to the Gulf of Mexico, oh, oh-oh

Oh, please let me go

Please let me go back to the Gulf of Mexico
