"I wrote this tune and played it for Pacheco... who promptly recognized the harmony from a classic bolero '¿Por qué ahora?,' So much for originality." says Sally. "Still, I feel very proud of the lyric and the way it expressed exactly what I was feeling at the time. I love the fact that I could corral Eugene Uman into the studio on his on his only day in Bogotá. He did a killer piano track. In one take, I think... Ruben Mendoza came up with the strangest, most wonderful video for it. One of my all-time favorites."
lyrics
I confuse love’s undertow
With the gentle glow of youth.
And the nightingale
With a piece of tail, it’s true.
It’s all hormones, purely physical
The last dance before it turns criminal.
It’s all over, so roll over,
Turn over a new leaf.
Old Man Winter stumbles in
My libido grins then fades
But when spring chickens
0 do their dance
I’m alive at last, I’m saved.
It’s all hormones, purely physical
The last dance before it turns criminal
It’s all over, so roll over
Turn over a new leaf.
