One night when out drinking
Of love, I was with thinking
I met with a girl on the wrong side of town
Her name was Martina and boys when I'd seen her
She really was someone I couldn't turn down
She had eyes like diamonds, the face of an angel
The kind of a girl who could have anything
And as I held her close and we started dancin'
For once in my life, I thought I could win
In an old rundown hotel, we spent the night
For when love is wrong that's when it seems right
And holding Martina and wanting to see her
I reached for a cigarette, turned on the lights
Why she must have been 90 unless I'm mistaken
One eye was blue and the other one green
And an old man was crying, "You've been with my woman"
Where was the beauty I thought I'd seen?
Could this be Martina as I thought I'd seen her?
With eyes like diamonds, a real beauty queen
Yes, this was Martina but not as I'd seen her
Forgone was the whisky, gone was the dream
As I left the room she was counting my money
I then realized what a fool I had been
You see, I'd spent the night with somebody's granny
The drink made me think she was only 18
Now if you go out drinkin' beware of those women
With whisky and dim lights the younger they seem
And you could meet Martina just like I'd seen her
A ravishing beauty but only a dream
I still think of Martina as I thought I'd seen her
With eyes like diamonds, a real beauty queen
And the old man's still cryin', "You've been with my woman"
The one with the blue eye, the other one green
I still think of Martina as I thought I'd seen her
With eyes like diamonds, a real beauty queen
That old man's still cryin', "You've been with my woman"
The one with the blue eye, the other one green
