Christina Aguilera
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 fingertiops grip my hips, and I slip as we dip into a state of bliss.
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.
But I realize big brown eyes can hyponotize when he says..."
"I am full-blood Boricua," reads the tatoo 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.
It's pure infatuation.
Skin the color of cinnamin, his eyes light up and I melt within.
Feels so good it must be a sin.
I can't stop what I've started; I'm giving in.
He brings life to my fantasies, sparks a passion inside 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.
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, I feel like a little child, and when he says..."
"I am full-blood Boricua," reads the tatoo 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.
It's pure infatuation.
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.
Papi, hold me.
Say that you adore me.
Never let go,
Never leave me lonely.
Papi, hold me.
Say that you adore me.
Never let go,
Never leave me lonely.

Never leave me lonely.
