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

It's pure infatuation

Can't help my infatuation

It's pure infatuation (infatuation)
