Tonight, I am aching, my body's shaking Tonight, Carmen's coming back home Tonight, there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom Tonight, Carmen's coming back home Tonight, as I stand here, I notice my hand here is trembling as never before My feelings I can't hide, resistance has all died My pride will rush outside the moment she walks through the door The lips that have kissed her, that's loved her and missed her Are lips that have cursed her at night In anguish and torment, I've cursed as the night went from darkness to dawn's golden light I thought of just taking these two hands and breaking the body I'm waiting to touch I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating while anticipating the woman I wanted so much Carmen, Carmen, Carmen I face pretty flowers to brighten the hours, I put brand new sheets on the bed I'm nervous and trembling, recording, remembering the way that she tosses her head I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to have more control over my life How can I fight it? How can I deny it? There's no way to hide it, the love that I have for my wife Carmen, Carmen, Carmen Carmen, Carmen, Carmen Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
