(Ouch!) Well I woke up Christmas morning and what did I see? I saw a lovely señorita looking back at me Named Guadalupe, with big brown eyes Boy what did you do this time? Made my excuses and a beeline for the bedroom door She was beggin' and a-pleadin', screamin', "Por favor, Mi cumpleaños, stay with me, Baby it's cold outside" We are livin' in a difficult time We've been walkin' down a difficult line Put your feet up baby, it's Christmas time Cumpleaños feliz Happy Birthday Guadalupe (Our time will come) (We both hold on) She gave me coffee and tortillas to console my head Prepared the slippers on my feet before she made our bed And blew the candles from her favourite cake And we kissed beneath the mistletoe I pulled her body close to mine and I had just one chance I whispered, "Baby will you marry me for just one dance?" Infatuation, the things you say I got scared and I left that night 'Cause we are livin' in a difficult time We've been walking down a difficult line Put your feet up baby, it's Christmas time Cumpleaños feliz Happy Birthday Guadalupe Deck the halls with rosaries Wish upon a Christmas tree Silent night please come to me Bearing gifts from my... my Mexican angel At night I wake up cold and lonely, burstin' at the seams She haunts the early morning hours of December dreams My Guadalupe, with big brown eyes I wanna break the spell tonight 'Cause we are livin' in a difficult time We've been walkin' down a difficult line Put your feet up baby, it's Christmas time Cumpleaños feliz Happy Birthday Guadalupe Happy Birthday Guadalupe
