Lyrics:
She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame
CHORUS
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind
REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES

I used to think that love was such a fairy tail
until that first hello, until that first smile
but if i had to do it all again
I wouldnt change a thing, cos this love is everlasting
Suddenly, life has new meaning to me
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
ooh yeah
Girl your everything a man could want and more
one thousand words are not enough to say what i feel inside
holding hands as we walk along the shore
never felt like this before, now your all that im livin for
suddenly, Life has new meaning to me
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
each day I pray, this love affair will last forever
oh hoh

there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
ooh
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
