Encino Karen Souza & Wax

[Intro: Karen Souza]
I met a boy in Encino
I was workin' at a cocktail bar
I poured him a caipirinha
And said I liked the way he played guitar
I said, "Do you know Ipanema?"
’Cause I'm a long way from Sao Paulo
Oh, baby
Why don't you
Take me home?

[Verse 1: Wax]
I used to make some extra money strummin’ my guitar
In Encino, California at a cozy little wine bar
Ventura Boulevard's hidden treasure
High end clientele mixing business with pleasure
They served light fare all night there
Small plates to share, people on dates, tryna create some flair
And I was part of that ambience
Up in the corner with my nylon strings playin' all night long
On one particular night the bartender was new
On a scale of one to ten she was one hundred and two
But I had a job to do, I tried to pay her no mind
But as I strummed my strings interestingly I'd find
There were certain melodies that resonated more with her
When I played certain chords it really struck a chord with her
Didn't say a word to me but her eyes spoke volumes
Quarter past one, I knew it'd be last call soon
