Isabel says that She don't need diamond rings No house in the hills No weekends in Palm Springs She just wants a guy who'll Love her and won't beat her all the time Is that too much to ask?
She works everyday for A family by the beach The glow of the good life Seems so out of reach The hours on the bus and The dealers on the corner by her home It's so hard to face America alone
And Isabel says that Maybe she'd be better off back home South of the border In the shadow of a bright green volcano There isn't much work there And her father likes to drink more Than he should But there's a boy there who loves her And he'd treat her real good
Sunday she's free and She spends it in her room She shuts out the city The danger and the gloom She reads gossip websites And chats with her beloved back at home It's so hard to face America alone
