[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Feel the pressure, your back's against the wall
Love is gaining 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
[Chorus]
'Cause you'll be 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
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights
Memories are lost and found, leaving broken hearts all over town
[Chorus]
'Cause you'll be 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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!
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights
Memories are lost and found, leaving broken hearts all over town
All over town
[Chorus]
'Cause you'll be 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
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
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
[Outro]
