Lyric Senorita With A Necklace

Words & music by Paul Simon

I have a wisdom tooth
Inside my crowed face
I have a friend who is born again
Found his savior s grace
I was born before my father
And my children before me
We are born and born again
Like the waves in the sea
That s the way it s always been
And that s how I want it to be

Nothing but good news
There is a frog in South America
Whose venom is a cure
For all the suffering that mankind
Must endure
More powerful than morphine
And soothing as the rain
A frog in South America
Has the antidote to pain
That s the way it s always been
And that s the way I like it

Some people never say no
Some people never complain
Some folks have no idea
And others will never explain
That s the way it s always been
And that s the way I like it
And that s how I want it to be
That s the way it s always been
And that s the way I like it
And that s how I want it to be

If I could play all the memories
In the neck of my guitar
I d write a song called
"Se?orita with a necklace of tears"
And every tear a sin I d committed
Oh these many years
That s who I was
That s the way it s always been

Some people always want more
Some people are what they lack
Some folks open a door
Walk away and never look back
I don t want to be a judge
And I don t want to be a jury
I know who I am
Lord knows who I will be
That s the way it s always been
And that s the way I like it
And that s how I want it to be
That s the way it s always been
And that s the way I like it
And that s how I want it to be
