I Love the Tango
Words and music by Devin Scillian (BMI)

Maria loved those shiny lights,
She never could stay home.
Fernando preferred quiet nights
But he loved Maria so.
He said, "Maria, I love you.
Maria, what can I do?"

(Chorus)
Buenos Aires calls to me.
If you love me dance with me.
Fernet Branca and cigarettes,
Red lips and castanets.
And you'll know I've had enough
When you see the sun come up.
I may learn to love Fernando
But for now I love the tango.
I may learn to love Fernando
But for now I love the tango.

He was a gaucho from Santa Fe.
It was a world apart.
But now the pampas were far away
And Maria had his heart.
He said, "Maria, can't you see?
Maria, stay with me."

(Repeat Chorus)

He said, "Maria, hear the band.
Maria, take my hand.

(Repeat Chorus)
