lyrics

(a heel clicks on marble)
(ah, ah...)

You left one red shoe on the stair
You knew I'd know that you'd been there
I poured two glasses out of spite
And drank them both at midnight
(quédate... quédate...)

The tango says what I won't say
(won't say, won't say)
Come close, then throw it all away

Quédate — stay till the record ends
Quédate — we were never friends
Quédate — the bandoneón knows
Quédate — it never lets go
(quédate, quédate)

Your coat came home with new perfume
It walked ahead of you through the room
I hung it out on the balcón
By dawn the evidence was gone
(qué lástima)

Quédate — stay till the record ends
Quédate — we were never friends
Quédate — the bandoneón knows
Quédate — it never lets go

One shoe is no reason to stay
(stay, stay)
But I never needed one anyway

Quédate — stay till the record ends
Quédate — we were never friends
Quédate — the bandoneón knows
Quédate — it never lets go

Quédate...
(the record spins its last groove)
