[Verse 1]
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 finger tips, grip my hips
And I slip as we dip into a rare bliss
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama used to warn me to beware of those Latin lovers
She said 'I gave my heart too 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
[Chorus]
I am full blood boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me 'Mami, I need you'
And my heartbeat 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
[Verse 2]
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 giving in
He brings life to my fantasies
Sparks a pa**ion inside of me
Finds the words when I can not speak
In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
[Pre-Chorus]
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 (when he smiles)
I feel like a little child when he says
[Chorus]
I am full blood boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me 'Mami, I need you'
And my heartbeat 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
[Bridge]
Caught between my mama's words and what I feel inside
I'm wanting to explore his world
But a 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
You adore me, never be lonely, ohh
[Chorus]
I am full blood boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm (on his arm)
He tells me 'Mami, I need you'
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (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
I can't help, what I'm feeling, infatuated
Can't help my infatuation, it's pure infatuation
