Carmelita Lyrics - Steve Wariner

[Chorus:] 

Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long 

I've been sittin' here starin' out the window 

Huggin' on the telephone 

I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find 

Somethin' that I did wrong 

Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long 

I called your mama and your sister 

I even called your daddy too 

He said listen here mister yeah this one's up to you 

He said you know I love my baby 

But she's hard headed like her mom 

I've already fought that battle now yours has just begun 

[Chorus] 

You know you really got me shook up 

Yeah you really cut me down to size 

But I'm never gonna give up til I look you in the eyes 

And I hear your explanation 

And you seal it with a kiss 

It's gonna take a ton of your lovin' to get me over this
