"Señorita With A Necklace Of Tears" lyrics

I have a wisdom tooth inside my crowded face
I have a friend who is a born-again, found his savior's grace
I was born before my father and my children before me
We are born and born again like the waves of the sea

That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been
And that's how I want it to be

Nothing but good news
There is a frog in South America whose venom is a cure
For all the suffering that mankind must endure
More powerful than morphine and soothing as the rain
A frog in South America has the antidote for pain

That's the way it's always been
And that's the way I like it

Some people never say no
Some people never complain
Some folks have no idea
And others will never explain

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be

If I could play all the memories in the neck of my guitar
I would write a song called "Señorita with a Necklace of Tears"
And every tear a sin I'd committed all these many years
That's who I was, that's the way it's always been

Some people always want more, some people are what they lack
Some folks open the door, walk away, and never look back
I don't want to be a judge and I don't want to be a jury
I know who I am, Lord knows who I will be

That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
That's the way it's always been and that's the way I like it
And that's how I want it to be
