If you really wanted me to know   Then you've sure got a funny way of showing   El Caporal   El Caporal   El Caporal   You're money's no good here      Well if you really don't want me to know   You've sure got a silly way of showing   El Caporal   El Caporal   El Caporal   My dog's not in your dumpster      Slide through your life   Straight like a knife   Sway when your dance   Play a game in your pants   It's all new you see   The believing in things   Believing in things that I do      Have we played all the chords we can finger   Have we made all the musical shapes   I just hope that my kisses love will linger   On your sweet, confused captain's face.      And the things you say just aren't making any sense   And the wars you wage are mostly killing innocents   When I want to say, all that's good has gone away   You tell me no, it isn't so.      But if you really wanted me to know   You've sure got a funny way of showing   El Caporal   El Caporal   Your love lasted forever   Your love lasted forever
