  • You may be sweet and nice
    But that won't keep you warm at night
    Cause I'm the one who showed you how to do the things you're doing now
    He may feel all your charms
    He may hold you in his arms
    But I'm the one who let you in
    I was right beside you then

    Once upon a time you let me feel you deep inside
    And nobody knew and nobody saw
    Do you remember the way you cried
    I'm your toy I'm your old boy
    But I don't want no-one but you
    To love me no I wouldn't lie
    You know I'm that kind of guy

  • Rob from Vancouver, BcThanks for correcting that it was Chris Ethridge and not Chris Hillman who wrote this song with Gram Parsons. But, in doing so, you left the reference to residing at "Burrito Manor". As you know, it was Hillman and Parsons who lived there, not Ethridge and Parsons.
    -Rob, Vancouver, BC.
  • Rob from Vancouver, BcActually, this song was written by Chris Ethridge and Gram Parsons. Ethridge had written two melodies many years previously. Two songs were completed from them during the recording of The Gilded Palace of Sin as Hot Burrito #1 and Hot Burrito #2. This is confirmed by the song writing credits for the album. In Gandulf Hennig's documentary film, "Gram Parsons Fallen Angel", Chris Ethridge describes how he and Parsons wrote the two songs.
