about

"She was all hot and bothered, she seemed fit to be tied so I ran right to the rescue, with my method true and tried..."

Two guitars, two voices and a story to tell. California meets Mallorca. San Diego meets Can Pastilla.

lyrics

HOT AND BOTHERED

She was all hot and bothered, she seemed fit to be tied
So I ran right to the rescue, with my method true and tried
I had to put her fire out, like “Smokey the bear”
She couldn’t decide ‘tween “yes” and “no”, pretending she didn’t care

She obviously had a rough time, somewhere in her past,
She was hurtin’ way too much, and her pain appeared to last;
I offered her a shot of gin and a piece of my sinful soul,
Then she willingly warmed right up and her love for me did flow

If she says “yes” once in a lifetime you’re luckier than the most,
´Cause most people, most of the time, end up like Sunday roast;
So don’t get hot and bothered, if you don’t cross that finish line,
Surrender yourself to your sinful soul, it’ll help you feel just fine

We talked of life and love, old memories come and gone
How it’s hard to feel right when you know it’s all wrong
How you hope, you reason and cope with emptiness along the way,
with wishful thinking it’ll all make sense, so you live through another day

Her heart was like the tin hads’, I heard some people say
Regardless of, whatever they did, she refused to play
Then one day she met me, and our love turned out for good
We both knew we’d met our match, our love, we understood.
