“I'd love to write another song
Baby especially for you
I'd love to write another song
And feel things bright and new

I'd even make it rhyme
I'd love to write another song
Just to get some peace of mind.”

“Black Dove [“Paloma Negra”] is a mariachi song, and we Mexicans love our mariachis; we'd go celebrate Mother's Day or a birthday or something and ask for a song that brings a great deal of sentimental feeling to us individually or the table. That's how I feel with Black Dove.”

They imagined the worst, that I was going to end up in a cabaret as one of those that dances for a few fellas.
