Jamaica
by: Theme ParkFind it in me, to be your lover
Find it in me, to be your friend
I got a home, with space for another
So I'll be yours
We can let it go cause summer girlfriends, house in Jamaica
Said "oh, we've got a drink we can bring"
This is modern life and I've got a patience, sat by temptation
Said "oh, such an extraordinary thing"
[X2]
Fast asleep, in a suit, by the fire
Empty space, close my eyes, we expire
We can let it go cause summer girlfriends, house in Jamaica
Said "oh, we've got a drink we can bring"
This is modern life and I've got a patience, sat by temptation
Said "oh, such an extraordinary thing"
[X2]
How'd we come here? How'd we find this place on our own?
Smell that burning? Must be someone who calls this home
Guess I'll ask her later, guess I'll ask her alone
