I go cross the southern border
Down to mexico
There’s a place I like to go
Only you and I know
Baby you’re my sanctum
When I need an escape
You’re all I ever think of
When I’m stuck here in the states
The cobblestone streets
Living with ease
In Coyoacan
The mezcal nights
Holding me tight
In your arms, my love I come undone
Ohhh, be my Mexico baby
Ohhh, you are my Mexico
Ohhh, when life gets crazy
I go down south to feel the warmth of Mexico
Wouldn’t it be nice
If we could stay a while
Nothing else compares
To our affair, so juvenile
Light your cigarette, my love
Let’s stay forever young
I’ll swim in your ocean
In slow motion ‘til I drown
The mornings we laid
In the home we made
In Coyoacan
I watch you sleep
As the sun starts to peak in
And I let myself come undone
Ohhh, be my Mexico baby
Ohhh, you are my Mexico
Ohhh, when life gets so crazy
I go down south to feel the warmth of Mexico
I go down south to feel the warmth of Mexico
Take me to your mountain top
I wanna lose myself in you, and never stop
You were made in the eyes of God
And I know, we were, meant to love
Ohhh, be my Mexico baby
Ohhh, you are my Mexico
Ohhh, when life gets so crazy
I go down south to feel the warmth of Mexico
I go down south to feel the warmth of Mexico
I go down south to feel the warmth of my Mexico

Jesus Was a Woman

Jesus was a woman
But nobody remembers that way
She would be forgotten
But she loved them all just the same
It is her who saves me every time I go astray
Jesus was a woman
So to her I kneel and pray
Ohhhh, Ohhhh
Ohhhh, Ohhhh
We are on track
To start a revolution
Look to the past
Don't pick another young son
'Cause I'm building up my empire out of dust
Will it every be good enough?
I know being born this way is hard
(But I try)
When daddy thinks you're not gonna go far
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
I know that I'm gonna be a star
(I know why)
'Cause I feel in my heart
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
Jesus was a woman, ohh
Jesus was a woman, ohh
I've spent sleepless nights
With my lovers and friends
Now I've seen the light
I'm never going back again
'Cause we only need a little love to live
And I've got so much to give
I know being born this way is hard
(But I try)
When daddy thinks you're not gonna go far
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
I know that I'm gonna be a star
(I know why)
'Cause I feel in my heart
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
Jesus was a woman, ohh
Jesus was a woman, ohh
Ohhhh, Ohhhh
Ohhhh, Ohhhh
Heavinly father
You had a daughter
Tell me you didn't send her away
Tell me you loved her
That you were proud of her
Well can you at least tell me her name?
I know being born this way is hard
When daddy thinks you're not gonna go far
But I know that I'm gonna be a star
Cause I feel in my heart
Jesus was a woman
But nobody remembers that way
She would be forgotten
So I'm following the light of her flame
It is her who saves me every time I go astray
Jesus was a woman
So to her I kneel and pray
Jesus was a woman, ohh
(Ohhhh, Ohhhh)
Jesus was a woman, ohh
(Ohhhh, Ohhhh)
Jesus was a woman, ohh
(Ohhhh, Ohhhh)
Jesus was a woman

Turbulencia
03:20

Like the river that rages to the east
We were strong, we moved fast
But our moment could not last
Once my arms met the mouth of your sea
The branches that grow thick upon the trees
Won't survive the winter storm
They will break, and they will fall
Just like me
Just like me
Oh, what happens to the ones who believe?
They hold on long enough to see
How to weather all the elements of
A turbulent love
I've done my best to pretend
When we move in the dark
I am still, while you do your part
Now it's quiet while we wait for the end
I don't know if I can do this again
You are strong, you are pure
While I'm still so unsure
If it's better to give up
Or give in
Oh, what happens to the ones who believe?
They hold on long enough to see
How to weather all the elements of
A turbulent love

Endless Summer
03:47
|

It was February, I was cold and closed
I left New York City, searching for a sweeter road
You warmed my body, kept my mind full
But it was the summer sun that won my soul
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
Heaven's not a place, heaven is a feeling
Love that you create is how you get the real thing
Baby, I adore you but it's not the same
'Cause the woman in my mind is the one who lights my flame
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
Come on baby, light my flame
I wanna feel your light again
All my love went pouring out
I had to find a way for it to come back in
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone

Love Is My Religion
03:56

Mamma isn't happy I'm not coming home
'Cause I spent all my money just to see you
Sold all my things, gave away my clothes
I know that I won't need them with you
'Cause love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
All of my friends think that I'm crazy
Trading in my life for you
But I'm convinced that they have never felt this way
It's like floating on a cloud inside my childhood bedroom
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
All my old flames have been abandoned
No more time to waste on stand-ins
'Cause I'm aware of a higher power's hand in
The making of us
Love is precious like a diamond
And I've been blessed enough to find it
Now I am just a humble worshiper
Of love
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You and I made a heaven
Proved that God is all of us
And I'm so grateful every day I'm alive
To have known your love
