Teresa

Why am I always yearning for Teresa

When there is Peggy, Margarite and Mary Jane

Why does my heart keep burnin' for Teresa

When I know that lovin' her is all in vain

Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet

And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete

Nevertheless there's only one I dream of

Teresa, Teresa my love.

Why is he always yearning for Teresa

When we have charms and we have arms to love him so, love him so

Why does his heart keep burning for Teresa

When we'd give all the world just to have him alone for our beau

Whenever we are near him our hearts begin to dance

For he looks at us so tenderly that we think we stand a chance

Nevertheless there's only one he dreams of

Teresa, Teresa his love.

Why am I always yearning for Teresa

When there are other girls that I can be around

Oh how I hate to hear that name Teresa

What's she got that I have not I'd like to know

Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet

And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete

In spite of it all there's only one he dreams of

Teresa

Teresa my love.

I haven't found the answer, and chances are I might

If he knew the way to capture her, his future would be bright

Nevertheless there's only one we dream of

Teresa

No one but Teresa

Teresa, Teresa my love
