Infatuation

Ooh oh, hey

Hey, oh-oh, hey

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

I feel his fingertips, grip my hips

And I slip as we dip into a rare bliss

Mama used to warn me

To beware of 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"

But I realized

Big brown eyes can hypnotize

When he says

"I am full blood boricua"

Reads the tattoo on his arm

He tells me, "Mami, I need ya"

And my heartbeat pumps so strong

Getting lost in el ritmo

He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero"

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

Skin the color of cinnamon

His eyes light up and I melt within

Feels so good it must be a sin

I can't stop what I started

I'm giving in (giving in)

He brings life to my fantasies

Sparks a passion inside of me ('side of me)

Finds the words when I cannot speak

In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me

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

I am full blood boricua

Reads the tattoo on his arm (whoa, whoa)

He tells me, "Mami I need ya"

And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)

Getting lost in el ritmo

He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero"

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)

Caught between my mama's words

And what I feel inside

I'm 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

Ooh, hey

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

I am full blood boricua (boricua)

Reads the tattoo on his arm (on his arm)

He tells me, "Mami I need ya"

And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)

Getting lost in el ritmo

He whispers, "Te quiero, te quiero" (oh, quiero)

I begin to give in with no hesitation

Can't help my infatuation

(I can't help, what I'm feeling, I'm infatuated)

It's pure infatuation (oh)

Can't help my infatuation (oh, whoa, oh)

It's pure infatuation

Hey
