Sipping a sangria, with a girl named Julia
Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet
She purred like a cat, in a Panama hat
She said my passport picture was uniqueI said, "I did impersonations, would you like to see?"
Turned around to buy her one more roundThen suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared, with another guy
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere aroundThe carnival had passed
And my heart was beatin' fast
All these married women, it ain't fair
Nervously I said, "Would you like to come to bed?"
Cold silence pierced the evening airInstantly she recognized my insecurities
Changin' subjects quickly I agreedThen suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared, with another guy, oh baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around, nowhere aroundThe tourist had all gone, winter's comin' on
The hotel chambermaid didn't seem to care
Sharing a Pina Colada, we broke into laughter
I'll never know how we made it up the stairsWe spent the night together and she woke up in my arms
Kissed me tenderly and said goodbyeThen suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared, with another guy, oh baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around, nowhere aroundLove always seems to let me down
Maybe I'll wait until next year, next year, next year
