Met a little senorita named margarita down in mexico
She taught me more about love in a day or two than i'll ever know
I had to go back across the rio grande
And leave that little girl behind
I can't believe how heavy she's laying on my mind

Oh tonight i need a margarita and i need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Give me the salt and the lime
So i can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight i need a margarita and i need her bad

Those eyes and that smile they drove me while, i just couldn't resist
I couldn't get enough from our first touch to our last kiss
I never understood a single word she said
Oh but she left no doubt
When she spoke to me in the language of love
She turned my world inside out

Oh tonight i need a margarita and i need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Give me the salt and the lime
So i can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight i need a margarita and i need her bad
