Island Girl

I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet

Down where Lexington cross 47th Street

Oh, she's a big girl, she's standin' six foot three

Turnin' tricks for the dudes in the big city

Island girl, what you wantin' with the white man's world? (Oh)

Island girl, black boy want you in his island world

He want to take you from the racket boss

He want to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl

Tell me what you wantin' with the white man's world

Well she's black as coal but she burn like a fire

And she wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire

You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake, oh

He one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake

Island girl, what you wantin' with the white man's world? (Oh)

Island girl, black boy want you in his island world

He want to take you from the racket boss

He want to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl

Tell me what you wantin' with the white man's world

Island girl, what you wantin' with the white man's world? (Oh)

Island girl, black boy want you in his island world

He want to take you from the racket boss

He want to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl

Tell me what you wantin' with the white man's

Tell me what you wantin' with the white man's

Tell me what you wantin' with the white man's
