Ahi Esta Mi Nina

Esmerelda, you's a sight for sore eyes I'm just off the bus from Clinton, they put me (?) I'm on my way home to see (?) Fancy meeting you along the way Naw, don't go, don't you got a minute for your old man Let me buy you something to eat Just a cup of coffee from a bodega I was hoping we might get the chance to speak There's so much I want to say to you So much of which would just do no good Like I will never ask you to forgive me 'Cause darling, I just don't think that you should 'Cause you're the only good I've ever done with my life I've never done right by you Might feel as though I owe you an explanation I think that you already know the truth So I'll just say I'm sorry But I know it's not as simple as that I think you and I both know better Than to think that we can do a thing about the past So how 'bout that cup of coffee? Give me a cigarette, I know you smoke 'Nuff about me, let's hear about this boy that you've been seeing Baby, I think you'd be amazed by what all I know I know you look just like your mother When you look at me that way You know that look, it never worked for your mother So what makes you think it's gonna get you any place? Ahi esta mi nina You have such a pretty smile (?) mi nina My only child
