He comes from a foreign place An island far away Intrigues me with every move Til I'm breathless, I'm helpless Can't keep my cool Steals my heart when he takes my hand And we dance to the rhythm of the band Feel his fingertips grip my hips And I slip as we dip into a state of bliss
Mama used to warn me to beware those latin lovers Said I gave my heart too soon And that's how I became your mother Said ay mama, you seem to forget I'm not in love yet Sweet talk don't win me over But I realize Big brown eyes I'm hypnotized When he says
I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami, I need ya! And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers Te quiero Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation
It's pure infatuation
Skin the color of cinnamon His eyes light up And I'm filled within Feels so good it must be a sin I can't stop what I started I'm giving in He brings life to my fantasies Sparks a passion inside of me Find the words and I cannot speak In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
Mama used to warn me not to rush love with another Said I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter Ay mama, you seem to forget I never would never let A man control my emotions When he smiles I feel like a little child When he says
I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami, I need ya! And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers Te quiero Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation
It's pure infatuation
Caught between my mother's words And what I feel inside Wanting to explore his world But part of me wants to hide Should I risk it Can't resist it This has caught me by surprise Should I let him take me to Puerto Rico I can't hold back no more Let's go tonight
I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami, I need ya! And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers Te quiero Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation
