I Saw You First (key West Intermezzo) Lyrics

I Saw You First (key West Intermezzo) lyrics

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the Hotel
Flamingo, wearing black market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John
Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, No one wants to sing the blues

Shes
perched like a parrot, on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, what's she doing with
him, she could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice in her glass with her
elegant finger
I want to be what shes drinking, yeah, I just want to
be

CHORUS:
I saw you first
Im the first one tonight
I saw you
first
Dont that give me the right
To move around your heart
Everyones
lookin
But I saw you first

On a moon spattered road in her parrot
rebozo
Gypsy Scottys driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a
bird over his shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my
star

CHORUS:
I saw you first
Im the first one tonight
I saw you
first
Dont that give me the right
To move around your heart
Everyones
lookin

In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin
The
radio is playin
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story
about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up, there aint
no girl like that

CHORUS:
I saw you first
Im the first one
tonight
I saw you first
Dont that give me the right
To move around
your heart
Everyones lookin
But I saw you first
