Am
He comes from a foreign place
E
An island far away
Am
Intrigues me with every move
E
Til' I'm breathless, I'm helpless, Can't keep my cool
Am
Steals my heart when he takes my hand
E
And we dance, to the rhythm of the band
Am
I feel his finger tips, grip my hips
E
And I slip as we dip into a state of bliss

E
Mama used to warn me
    Am
To beware of those Latin lovers
  E
She said I gave my heart too soon
             Am
And that's how I became your mother
  E
I said ay mama, you seem to forget
               Am
I'm not in love yet, sweet talk don't win me over
 E
But I realised
             Am
Big brown eyes can hypnotize

When he says

Am    Dm
I am full blood boricua
E
Read the tattoo on his arm
Am           Dm
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong
Am             Dm
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am             Dm             E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Hey

Am
Skin the color of cinnamon
E
His eyes light up and I melt within
Am
Feels so good it must be a sin
E
I can't stop what I started, I'm giving in
Am
He brings life to my fantasies
E
Sparks a passion inside of me
Am
Finds the words when I can not speak
       E
In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
E            Am
Mama used to warn me
       Dm
Not to rush love with another
   E                Am
She said I'm not trying to lecture
       Dm
I just care about my daughter
  E               Am
Ay mama, you seem to forget
             Dm
I never will let a man control my emotions
E            Am  
But when he smiles
       Dm
I feel like a little child

When he says

Am    Dm
I am full blood boricua
E
Read the tattoo on his arm
Am           Dm
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong
Am             Dm
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am             Dm             E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Hey

E                 Am
Caught between my mama's words
    Dm
And what I feel inside
E               Am
I'm wanting to explore his world
       Dm
But a part of me wants to hide
E                 Am
Should I risk it, can't resist it
          Dm
This has caught me by surprise
E                 Am          Dm
Should I, let him take me to Puerto Rico

I can't hold back no more

Let's go tonight...

Ooh, hey



Am    Dm
I am full blood boricua
E
Read the tattoo on his arm
Am           Dm
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong
Am             Dm
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am             Dm             E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Hey
