They called her Margarita
Cause that's what she would drink
She claimed that the cantina
Was the only place she could think
They called her Margarita
And she could hold her own
She'd pour one as you walked in
And made you feel at home
She never mentioned the other night
And the mess you'd left behind
Oh, Margarita
What's brought you to my mind
They called her Margarita
And she answered just the same
And nobody ever asked her
About her real name
They called her Margarita
And she worked behind the bar
Those neon lights were pretty
But their light only went so far
