I Didn't Know Your Memory Loved Jamaica

I saved my money, took a vacation

One that was long overdue

A little exotic recreation

On a tropical cruise

Walking the beaches down around Kingston

Getting crazy at night

Snapping my camera just like a tourist

Trying to get my mood just right

Oh, I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

You never mentioned it spending its winters down there

(Jamaica)

I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

I should have known it would follow me anywhere

I made friends with a couple from Cincinnati

On their second honeymoon

In love with each other, they were so happy

It should have been me and you

So I bought this postcard from one of the natives

A picturesque waterfall

The weather is lovely, I'm blue as the ocean

I wish she wasn't here at all

Oh, I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

You never mentioned it spending its winters down there

(Jamaica)

I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

I should have known it would follow me anywhere

I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

You never mentioned it spending its winters down there

(Jamaica)

I didn't know that your memory loved Jamaica

I should have known it would follow me anywhere

Jamaica
