I'm the unhappiest man at the bar
I've got some money to lose on a lonely heart
Been wandering for days
In a liquor-filled haze
Oh, I'm falling apart

There's a pretty girl by the payphone
Her daddy died and left her all alone
Drinking tequila sunrise
With pain in her eyes
But she's holding her own

And it always ends like this
With a stranger's kiss

So we danced
In the white room
Of the Hotel Flamingo
Cold hands
Touch of romance
I feel it when we're face to face
She could kill me if she wanted to
Like all the broken lovers do
In a smoke-filled room underneath the moon
She could kill me if she wanted to
She could kill me if she wanted to

I'm the prettiest girl in the bar
Nobody told me that life was this hard
Can't pay for the drugs
So I'll offer my love
To the loneliest heart (Loneliest heart)

And they always look the same
Drifters with no name

So we danced
In the white room
Of the Hotel Flamingo
Cold hands
Touch of romance
I feel it when we're face to face
He could kill me if he wanted to
Like all the broken lovers do
In a smoke-filled room underneath the moon
He could kill me if he wanted to
He could kill me if he wanted to

Now we've got nothing to lose, so we take a chance
And we found someone to use for a final dance
It always ends like this
A stranger's kiss

So we danced
In the white room
Of the Hotel Flamingo
Cold hands
Touch of romance
I feel it when we're face to face
She could kill me if she wanted to
Like all the broken lovers do
In a smoke-filled room underneath the moon
She could kill me if she wanted to
He could kill me if he wanted to
You could kill me if you wanted to
