She was only seventeen when she walked into my life
She had head filled with dreams and she wanted to strive
She wasn't afraid to say or do the things to get what she wanted
And she could use and seduce a man with just one hand, it was all or nothing
That was her plan.
She wanted to be free and to have it all
She didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
Then she had to see, she had to let it go
Cause it takes only two to tango.
She was only seventeen when I gave her my heart
She would look into my eyes, and tell me lies
She knew what she wanted from the start
Yo la quería (bis)
Oh, how I need her (bis)
But love sometimes ain't what it seems to be
Tantas mentiras (bis)
She's a deceiver (bis)
But she didn't know
That the best things in life are for free.
She wanted to be free and to have it all
She didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
Then she had to see, she had to let it go
Cause it takes only two to tango.
And in a lonely cabaret she danced her life away
And as she moved her feet erased the memories
And with each tear I cry I stop to wonder why
She never danced with me.
She wanted to be free and to have it all
She didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
Then she had to see, she had to let it go
Cause it takes only two to tango.
