Senorita
Camila Cabello Shawn Mendes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la
Yeah, no
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la, yeah

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Locked in the hotel
There's just some things that never change
You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la
'Cause you know it's been a long time coming
Don't you let me fall, oh

Ooh, when your lips undress me
Hooked on your tongue
Ooh, love, your kiss is deadly
Don't stop

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la (true, la-la)
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

All along I've been coming for ya (for ya)
And I hope it meant something to ya (ooh)
Call my name, I'll be coming for ya
Coming for ya, coming for ya, coming for ya

For ya
For ya (oh, she loves it when I call)
For ya





Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Overall Meaning

In the first stanza of "Señorita," Shawn Mendes expresses his love for being called "señorita" by Camila Cabello. He acknowledges that he wishes he could pretend he didn't need her, but her touch is irresistible. The repetition of "ooh, la-la-la" indicates the satisfaction he feels every time they are together. Shawn knows he should be running away from this love, but Camila keeps him coming back.


In the second stanza, Shawn describes how they met. He was in Miami, and it was hot from summer rain. He was sweating before he even knew Camila's name. However, the chemistry between them was intense, and they danced for hours in the sand under sapphire moonlight. The tequila sunrise only added to the sensual atmosphere, and Camila's body fit perfectly into his hands.


In the last stanza, they are locked up in a hotel room, and Shawn knows that their relationship has gone beyond friendship. He emphasizes how long he's been coming for her and begs her not to let him fall. When Camila undresses him with her lips and kisses him, he becomes addicted to the taste of her. He cannot resist coming back for more.


Overall, "Señorita" is about the heat of a passionate love affair that is hard to resist. It portrays the intense attraction between two people who experience a powerful, almost tangible, chemistry when they are together.
