                Am
Y primero dije "no," pero sí quería (Woo)
                        E7
Pa' que te fueras me inventé cualquier tontería (Hmm-hmm)
Pero después del trago cinco te di la mano, y (Woo)
                   Am
Me gustó tanto lo malo que eras bailando (Okay)

Chorus:
                   Am
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
                        E7
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
                      Am
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah

Am                                            E7
Drinkin' after dark, that's when she stole my heart (Mmm)
Am
She knew my friends, that's where the story begins
E7
Standin' at the salsa bar, asked if it was mild
Am
I was speechless, but still, I smiled
E7
Took me by the hand and asked me if I had plans
         Am
I said, "Gettin' drunk and pretendin' that I can dance"
                       E7
She laughed, I fell in love and now it's no goin' back
                  Am
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that's that

Chorus:
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah
It's happy hour up in NoHo, we danced
She said, "I never come here solo," we danced
She's got a round of straight tequila, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah

She asked if I like Friends, I guess that that was the test
I said, "Hell yeah, and Phoebe's the fuckin' best"
We were standin' at the salsa bar, feelin' the vibration (I know)
I always find myself in random situations
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun tonight?
She said, "Ooh, I do"
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun?
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that's that

Chorus:
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"
It's happy hour up in NoHo, we danced
She said, "I never come here solo," we danced
She's got a round of straight tequila, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"

Y primero dije "no," pero sí quería
Pa' que te fueras me inventé cualquier tontería
Pero después del trago cinco te di la mano, y
Me gustó tanto lo malo que eras bailando
Déjame, te enseño yo, que la cumbia es mía
Cuando se acabe esta canción, nos vamos, ¿quién diría no?
Mira que no salgo sola, pero llego sola
Que estoy mejor sola, pero
We're going to my place tonight

I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
(I'm from wherever you're goin')
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
(I'm from wherever you're goin')
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
(I'm from wherever you're goin')
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"
