(Male) Tangerine - she is all they claim With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame Tangerine when she dances by Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh And Ive seen toasts to Tangerine Raised in every bar across the Argentine Yes she has them all on the run But her heart belongs to just one Her heart belongs to Tangerine
(Female) Tangerine she is all they say With mascarad eyes, and chapeaux by Dache Tangerine with her lips of flame If the colour keeps, Louis Philippes to blame And Ive seen clothes on Tangerine Where the label says from Macys Mezzanine Yes, shes got the guys in a whirl But shes only fooling one girl Shes only fooling Tangerine
