Key: E
Introduction:
Am
He comes from a foreign place
E
An island far away
Am
Intrigues me with every move
E
Til' I'm breathless, I'm helpless
Can't keep my cool
Am
Steals my heart when he takes my hand
E
And we dance, to the rhythm of the band
Am
I feel his finger tips, grip my hips
E
And I slip as we dip into a state of bliss
F7 E
Mama used to warn me
Am
To beware of those Latin lovers
F7 E
She said I gave my heart too soon
Am
And that's how I became your mother
Dm E
I said ay mama, you seem to forget
Am
I'm not in love yet
Sweet talk don't win me over
F
But I realized
E
Big brown eyes can hypnotize
When he says
Am F E
I am full blood boricua
Read the tattoo on his arm (ohh)
Am F
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (oh)
Am F
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am F E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Am
Can't help my infatuation
Dm
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
E Am
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
E
Hey
Am
Skin the color of cinnamon
E
His eyes light up and I melt within
Am
Feels so good it must be a sin
E
I can't stop what I started
I'm giving in
Am
He brings life to my fantasies
E
Sparks a passion inside of me
Am
Finds the words when I can not speak
E
In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
F7 E
Mama used to warn me
Am
Not to rush love with another
F7
She said I'm not trying to lecture
Am
I just care about my daughter
Dm E
Ay mama, you seem to forget
Am
I never will let
A man control my emotions
Dm
But when he smiles (when he smiles)
E
I feel like a little child
When he says
Am F E
I am full blood boricua
Read the tattoo on his arm (ohh)
Am F
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (oh)
Am F
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am F E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Am
Can't help my infatuation
Dm
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
E Am
It's pure infatuation
Dm
Caught between my mama's words
E
And what I feel inside
Dm
I'm wanting to explore his world
E
But a part of me wants to hide
Dm
Should I risk it, can't resist it
E
This has caught me by surprise
Dm
Should I, let him take me to Puerto Rico
E Am Dm E Am Dm
I can't hold back no more
E Am Dm
Ooh, hey
E Am E
You adore me, never be lonely, ohh
Am F E
I am full blood boricua
Read the tattoo on his arm (ohh)
Am F
He tells me, mami I need ya
E
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (oh)
Am F
Getting lost in el ritmo
E
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
Am F E
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Am
Can't help my infatuation
Dm
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
E Am
It's pure infatuation
I can't help, what I'm feeling
