She wants to go to Mexico

Guess I'm happy where I am

I'm talking to a boy who's ready to go

I'll be alright on my own

Don't worry about me

Pack your bags, your alibis

And do whatever's gonna set you free

I never thought I'd be living without you

There's better things to do

Than doing something new

Just because its new

For a week or two

Where the sun never ceases to shine
