[Verse 1] I was alone on the road when you found me Didn't know where I was going or why There was wasteland of sorrow inside me All the memories I kept locked inside [Pre-Chorus] Believe me, believe me I tried to go on But I thought I had to be alone [Chorus] You made me special, El Cartero You made me real I didn't know how to dance a bolero I didn't know how to feel El Cartero, El Cartero You were lonely inside I was lonely inside without you [Verse 2] The sun was burning the road all around me The desert was endless and wide You gave me water and something to dream of And walked by my side through the night You told me, “Darling, don't worry” You smiled when I started to cry And under the stars in the desert I knew I had found you in time [Pre-Chorus] Believe me, believe me I tried to go on But I thought I had to be alone [Chorus] You made me special, El Cartero You made me real I didn't know how to dance a bolero I didn't know how to feel El Cartero, El Cartero You were lonely inside I was lonely inside without you [Bridge] Oh, El Cartero, my sweet El Cartero You came when my heart had gone dry No letter was waiting, no promise was spoken Just love in the light of your eyes If I had to wander that desert forever I'd follow the road where you go For you were the one who found me When I had nowhere else to go [Final Chorus] You made me special, El Cartero You made me real You taught me how to dance a bolero You taught me how to feel El Cartero, El Cartero You were lonely inside I was lonely inside without you [Outro] El Cartero El Cartero El Cartero I was lonely inside without you
