(Burt Bacharach/Bob Hilliard) It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce Down below El Paso lies Juarez Mexico is different, like a travel folder says Cross the Rio Grande and you will find An old adobe house Where you leave your past behind One day married, next day free Broken hearts for you and me Takes no time, for you to get A Mexican divorce As I came into this lonely house last night I looked at all my windows but I couldn't find one light I found you on that road to Mexico And now, my love, I beg Please, oh, please, don't go One day married, next day free Broken hearts for you and me It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce Finding love takes so long Walking out must be wrong It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce One day married, next day free Broken hearts for you and me It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce
