Marguerita
Elvis Presley · It Happened at the World's Fair/Fun in Acapulco
Who makes my temperature rise?
Who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture
With one burning glance, from her eyes
Marguerita
Once I was free as a gypsy
A creature too wild to tame
Then suddenly I saw, Marguerita
And I was caught, like a moth in the flame
Marguerita is her name
Marguerita
Her lips have made me her prisoner
A slave to her every command
She captivates me, and intoxicates me
With one little touch of her hand
Marguerita
Sweet Marguerita sweet,sweet Marguerita
