And it’s driving me crazy
And I didn’t have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing (yeah)

Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl (just move)
And everything so unexpected, the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it (let’s go)

Oh, boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don’t, don’t really know what I’m doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self-restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can’t so you know
That’s a bit too hard to explain (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)

Hey, brra!

Yeah, she’s so sexy, every man’s fantasy
A refugee like me back with the Fugees from a third world country
I go back like when ‘Pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
We leave the whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain’t guilty, it’s a musical transaction
Bo bop so bop, no more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas ’cause we own our own boats (no fighting)

And I’m starting to feel you, boy
Come on, let’s go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto (no fighting)

The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting
