Four Tops - Loco In Acapulco Lyrics

Going loco down in Acapulco if you stay too long

yes
you'll be going loco down in Acapulco

the magic down there is so strong.

Feel the pressure
your back's against the wall

love is gainig on you
you're just about to fall.
If you're afraid to love
afraid to take a chance

you better hide your feelings
get out while you can.

'Cause you'll be going loco down in Acapulco
if you stay too long
...

You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights

memories are lost and found
leaving broken hearts all over town.

'Cause you'll be going loco down in acapulco if you stay too
long
...

You'll be pulling out your hair
drowning in despair

with a whole lot of nothing on your way to nowhere.
Your search for paradise will come to an end

when you realize what a fool you've been.

You'll be haunted by her face
missing her warm embrace

memories of loving her
holding her tight every night.
Was that the best part of your life ?
Hearing her voice soft and low
begging you to please
please don't go.
- Don't go
no ! Don't go ! Don't go ! -

You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights
...

'Cause you'll be going loco down in acapulco if you stay too
long
...
going loco down in acapulco if you stay too long
...
going loco down in acapulco if you stay too long
...
