And finally say

You have your way

Come to town

But you'll look at me

with a foreigner's eyes

The magical city

A younger girl's city

A fantasy long since put down

All you've done to me

Was that a young girl's fantasy?

I played your city games all right, didn't I?

I already know what cooks

How the dirty city feels and looks

I tasted it last night, didn't I?

I'm gonna be a part of B.A.,

Buenos Aires, Big Apple.

She's gonna be a part of B.A.,

Buenos Aires, Big Apple.

Eva, beware your ambition

It's hungry and cold

Can't be controlled, will run wild

This in a man is danger enough

But you are a woman

Not even a woman

Not very much more than a child

And whatever you say

I'll not steal you away

What's new, Buenos Aires?

I'm new,

I want to say I'm just a little stuck on you

You'll be on me too

I get out here, Buenos Aires

Stand back

You oughta know

What you're gonna get in me

Just a little touch of star quality

Fill me up with your heat

With your noise, with your dirt, overdo me

Let me dance to your beat

Make it loud, let it hurt, run it through me

Don't hold back

You are certain to impress

Tell the driver this is where I'm staying.

Hello, Buenos Aires.

Get this! Just look at me

Dressed up somewhere to go

We'll put on a show

Take me in at your flood, give me speed

Give me lights, set me humming

Shoot me up with your blood

Wine me up with your nights

Watch me coming

All I want is a whole lot of excess

Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

Stand back, Buenos Aires

Because you oughta know

What you're gonna get in me

Just a little touch of star quality

And

If ever I go to far

It's because of the things you are

Beautiful town

I love you

And

If I need a moment's rest

Give your lover the very best

Real eiderdown

And silence

You're a tramp, you're a treat

You will shine to the death

You are shoddy

But you're flesh, you are meat

You shall have every breath in my body

Put me down for a lifetime of success

Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying

Rio de la Plata

Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio

All I want to know

Stand back, Buenos Aires,

Because you oughta know

What you're gonna get in me

Just a little touch...

Just a little touch...

Just a little touch of star quality.

I don't expect my love affairs

To last for long

Never fool myself

That my dreams will come true

Being used to trouble

I anticipate it

But all the same I hate it

Wouldn't you?

- So what happens now?

- Another suitcase in another hall.

- So what happens now?

- Take your picture off another wall.

- Where am I going to?

- You'll get by, you always have before.

Where am I going to?

Time and time again
