Rock the Reggae music 'cause it sounds so fine, right!
Ab
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine

But in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same
         G
I know something going on, and I know who's to blame.
Cm
Every time I tell you I'm the real Romeo
   Ab
It fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow
        Bb
'Cause something's going on, and I think you should know
   Cm
So listen to my rhyme, 'cause this is how it goes:
Cm
In a tight mini short, in a short mini skirt
It feels so wrong and it feels so right
    Ab
The more I think about it, you're a pain in the ass
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last

Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right

Not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, 'cause
