A Man From Argentina
Billie The Vision & The Dancers & Maia Hirasawa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Jackson Five from a car stereo singing ""I want you back, want you back""
Just a year ago I would have danced so crazy and now I think I wanna get back on that track
If I only could relax in this confusion, if I could dance with you the way we used to
And shake my hips to the revolution, if I could be naïve again
Catherine says: ""Mono's coming on Friday and I must be the happiest girl in the world""
So send me a man from Argentina to make me the happiest girl in the world
So come to me on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, but I can't wait 'til Monday
So come to me on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, but I can't wait 'til Monday
Michael Walden from a car stereo singing ""gimme, gimme, gimme all night long""
If I only could perform I would have sung along 'cause you know that is a top five song
Maggie and Josephine say good things to me and good things have tended to come late
So I hold my breath, there is a smile on my face and my face wasn't made to wait
Catherine says: ""Mono's coming on Friday and I must be the happiest girl in the world""
I'm thinking: ""I wanna be you, I wanna be you, I wanna be you, you, you""
So send me a man from Argentina to make me the happiest girl in the world
So come to me on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, but I can't wait 'til Monday
