Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Ooh, oh)
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Ooh, oh)
(Hey)
[Verse 2]
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 (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
[Verse 3]
Mama used to warn me to beware those Latin lovers
She said, "I gave my heart too 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" (Ooh)
But I realized big brown eyes can hypnotize when he says
[Verse 4]
"I am full blood Boricua"
Reads the tattoo on his arm (Oh-ooh)
He tells me, "Mamí, I need you"
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (Yeah, you)
Gettin' lost in el ritmo
He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero"
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation (Oh, oh)
It's pure infatuation (Oh, oh)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Skin the color of cinnamon
His eyes light up and I melt within (Melt within)
Feels so good, it must be a sin
I can't stop what I started
I'm giving in (Givin' in)
He brings life to my fantasies
Sparks a passion inside of me (-Side of me)
Finds the words when I can not speak
In the silence his heartbeat is music to me
[Verse 6]
Mama used to warn me not to rush love with another (Not to rush love)
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 (When he smiles)
I feel like a little child when he says
[Verse 7]
"I am full blood Boricua"
Reads the tattoo on his arm (Whoa, whoa)
He tells me, "Mamí, I need you"
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (So strong)
Gettin' lost in el ritmo
He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero"
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation (Oh, oh)
It's pure infatuation (Oh, oh)
[Verse 8]
Caught between my mama's words and what I feel inside
I'm wantin' to explore his world
But a 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
Hey
[Verse 9]
(Papi hold me, say that you adore me)
You adore me
(Never let go, never leave me lonely)
Leave me lonely
(Papi hold me, say that you adore me)
Oh
(Never let go, never leave me lonely)
[Verse 10]
"I am full blood Boricua" (Boricua)
Reads the tattoo on his arm (On his arm)
He tells me, "Mamí, I need you"
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (So strong)
Gettin' lost in el ritmo
He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero" (Oh)
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
[Verse 11]
I can't help, what I'm feelin'
Infatuated
It's my infatuation (Oh-ooh)
Can't help my infatuation (Oh)
It's pure infatuation
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
