Chorus Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long I've been sittin' here starin' out the window Huggin' on the telephone I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find Somethin' that I did wrong Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long I called your mama and your sister I even called your daddy too He said listen here mister yeah this one's up to you He said you know I love my baby But she's hard headed like her mom I've already fought that battle now yours has just begun Chorus Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long I've been sittin' here starin' out the window Huggin' on the telephone I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find Somethin' that I did wrong Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long You know you really got me shook up Yeah you really cut me down to size But I'm never gonna give up til I look you in the eyes And I hear your explanation And you seal it with a kiss It's gonna take a ton of your lovin' to get me over this
