Infatuation

He comes from a foreign place, an island far away
Intrigues me with every move
Till 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 fingertips 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 to 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 realized, big brown eyes can hypnotize, when he says

I am full blood Boricua, reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me, "Mami, I need ya"
And my heart beat 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 cinnamon
His eyes light up and I melt within
Feels so good it must be a sin
I can't stop what I started, I'm givin' in

He brings life to my fantasies
Sparks a passion inside of me
Finds the words when I cannot speak
In the silence his heart beat 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 tattoo on his arm
He tells me, "Mami, I need ya"
And my heart beat 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

I am full blood Boricua, reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me, "Mami, I need ya"
And my heart beat 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
Can't help my infatuation
Can't help my infatuation
It's pure Infatuation
