One night down in San Antone
Out on the Riverwalk alone
I wasn't lookin' for a man
I was just listening to the band

And they played all those Mexican Love Songs
They play La Paloma, the Dove
The moment my heart heard the music
I knew that the night was made for love

I ordered another Dos Equis (XX)
That Mexican beer tasted fine
Then slowly I let my eyes wander
Wondering whose eyes would catch mine
Soon then I noticed him looking
As if he had something to say
So I let my eyes do all the smiling
Then slowly I turned them away

For they played all those Mexican Love Songs
They play La Paloma, the Dove
The moment my heart heard the music
I knew that the night was made for love

The music was gone in the morning
And the beer left an ache in my head
And this cowboy that's laying here beside me
Take ups three-fourths of the bed
They could hear him snoring in Sonora
His breath would wilt the San Antone Rose
And his feet looked like they'd waltzed across Texas
For all I can remember -- who knows!

And they played all those Mexican Love Songs
They play La Paloma, the Dove
The moment my heart heard the music
I knew that the night was made for love
