Tijuana Lady Song Lyrics


Take me down
To where you hide
Lay me down
Lay down inside
Why, do you scowl?
About the specific time

Tijuana lady, where did you go, yeah?
I've been chasin' you around old Mexico, yeah
Gotta, find my way back to San Diego
Baby where do you hide?

Take me down
To where you hide
Lay me around
Lay me around inside
Baby go south
'Cos I know you hide

Tijuana lady, lets take it slow, yeah but I
I know that I'm no head honcho, yeah but I
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Where do you hide? Where do you hide?

Tijuana lady, where did you go? Yeah well I
I heard you lost in La Sombrero
Tijuana lady, which way do you flow? Yeah but I
El Mariachi Desperado
Where do you hide? Tell me where do you hide?

Enchilada Desperado days
Senorita come back and meet me again
Buena vista, Senorita, yeah
I love you so come back, be with me again

Background and Context
"Tijuana Lady" is a song by Gomez, featured on their debut album "Bring It On," released in 1998. Gomez, a British band, is kniwn for their eclectic blend of genres, including indie rock, blues, and folk. Their music often incorporates experimental sounds and diverse instrumentation, setting them apart in the late '90s British music scene. "Tijuana Lady" exemplifies this blend, offering a laid-back, atmospheric track that stands out for its emotive storytelling and rich acoustic arrangement.

Main Message and Theme
The song is a poignant narrative of longing and search, centered around the metaohorical "Tijuana Lady." It explores themes of love, loss, and the yearning for connection across geographical and emotional distances. The lyrics convey a sense of romantic adventure and the quest for a love that seems just out of reach, set against the backdrop of the Mexican border town of Tijuana.

Meaning and Analysis
"Tijuana Lady" uses vivid imagery and references to Mexican culture ("El Mariachi Desperado," "enchilada," "Senorita") to weave a tale of pursuit and desire. The repetitive plea, "Where do you hide?" underscores the theme of searching for something elusive and perhaps unattainable. The song's narrative structure, with its recurring motifs and choruses, reflects the cyclical nature of longing and the continuous search for fulfillment and love.

Emotion and Impact
The dominant emotion of the song is a melancholic longing, mixed with a sense of warmth and affection for the titular "Tijuana Lady." The acoustic guitar and laid-back tempo evoke a feeling of introspective journeying, both literal and metaphorical. The song captures the listener's imagination, transporting them to a sun-drenched, romanticized Mexico that serves as the setting for this tale of love and longing.
