James Taylor, "Mexico"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby Jane
Whoa, Mexico.
You sound so simple, I just got to go
...
Ah, Mary Connie's got the sleepy eyes but this body's still shakin' like a live wire
Sleepy sin, you're evil with the eyes on fire
Whoa, Mexico.
You sound so sweet with the sun sinking low
The Moon's so bright, like-a light up the night, make everything all right
Baby's hungry and Monday's all gone
...
She gets so long letters, sends back a postcard - times are hard
Whoa, Mexico.
You sound so simple, I just got to go
...
Ah, Mary Connie's got the sleepy eyes but this body's still shakin' like a live wire
Sleepy sin, you're evil with the eyes on fire
Whoa, Mexico.
You sound so sweet with the sun sinking low
The Moon's so bright, like-a light up the night, make everything all right
Baby's hungry and Monday's all gone
...
She gets so long letters, sends back a postcard - times are hard
Original Lyrics:
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
Whoa, Mexico.
It sounds so simple, I just got to go
...
"Americano" got the sleepy eye but his body's still shakin' like a live wire
Sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire
Whoa, Mexico.
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
The Moon's so bright, like to light up the night, make everything all right
Baby's hungry and money's all gone
...
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard - times are hard
Whoa, Mexico.
It sounds so simple, I just got to go
...
"Americano" got the sleepy eye but his body's still shakin' like a live wire
Sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire
Whoa, Mexico.
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
The Moon's so bright, like to light up the night, make everything all right
Baby's hungry and money's all gone
...
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard - times are hard
I think there's some political correctness being applied to the 'official' lyrics ('it's' instead of 'you').
