Señorita
Citizen Queen 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 runnin'
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat drippin' off me
Before I even knew her name, la-la-la
It felt like ooh-la-la-la (Ooh, ooh)
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 runnin'
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 runnin'
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Locked in the hotel
(Aah, aah)
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
La-la-la, la-la-la (oh...)
'Cause you know it's been a long
Time coming, don't ya let me fall, fall
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 runnin'
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

All along I've been coming for ya (oh, oh)
And I hope it means something to you (ooh)
Call my name, I'll be coming for ya (Coming for ya)
Coming for ya (Coming for ya)
I love it when you call me Señorita (For ya)
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
(Oh, she loves it when I come)
But every touch is ooh-la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la (ooh, ooh)




Ooh, I should be runnin'
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Overall Meaning

The song "Señorita" by Citizen Queen is a love song that expresses the intense attraction between two individuals. The singer admits that she loves it when her lover calls her "Señorita" despite the fact that she wishes she could pretend that she didn't need him. She gladly surrenders herself to his touch, which makes her feel alive and blissful. Even though she should leave, she keeps getting drawn towards him, and she hopes that he feels the same way about her.


The opening lines of the song, "I love it when you call me Señorita, I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya" set the tone for the entire song. The lyrics represent the feelings of a person who is desperately in love with someone but tries to keep it hidden. The chorus repeats this phrase, emphasizing the power of the other person's words and the effect they have on each other.


The bridge of the song features the lines "All along, I've been coming for ya, and I hope it means something to you, call my name, I'll be coming for ya." This part reveals that the relationship has been developing for a while and that there is a deep connection between the two. The character's motivations for wanting to be with their lover are clear, and though the relationship isn't explicitly described in the lyrics, the meaning behind the words is clear.

As a woman with a range that is very strong in male registers (I sang in the men's section in choir in high school too) I was always insecure about my voice. I love seeing other women confidently sing those lower parts
