He comes from a foreign place,
an island far away
Intrigues me with every move
till 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
I 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
She said: I gave my heart to soon and
that's how I became your mother

I said: Ay Mama you seem to forget
I'm not in love yet
Sweet talk don't win me over
But I realized big brown eyes
can hypnotize,
When he says:

I am full blood Boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me: Mami, I need ya
and my heart beat pumps so strong

Getting lost in el ritmo
he whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation,
Can't help my infatuation
It's pure Infatuation
(yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Skin the color of cinnamon,
His eyes light up and I melt within
Feels so good it must be a sin
I can't stop what I started, I'm givin' in

He brings life to my fantasies,
Sparks a passion inside of me,
Finds the words when I cannot speak,
In the silence his heart beat is music to me

Mama used to warn me not to rush love
(not to rush) with another
She said: I'm not trying to lecture
I just care about my daughter

Ay Mama you seem to forget,
I never will let a man control my emotions
But when he smiles I feel like
a little child,
And when he says

I am full blood Boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me: Mami, I need ya
and my heart beat pumps so strong

Getting lost in el ritmo
he whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation,
Can't help my infatuation
It's pure Infatuation
(yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Caught between my mama's words
and what I feel inside
I'm 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 suprise
Should I let him take me to Puerto Rico?
I can't hold back no more
Let's go tonight

Papi hold me, say that you adore me
Never let go never leave me lonely
Papi hold me, say that you adore me
Never let go never leave me lonely

I am full blood Boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me: Mami, I need ya
and my heart beat pumps so strong

Getting lost in el ritmo
he whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation,
Can't help my infatuation
It's pure Infatuation
(yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Papi hold me, say that you adore me
Never let go never leave me lonely (lonely)

I am full blood Boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me: Mami, I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong
Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation,
Can't help my infatuation
It's pure Infatuation (yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
