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 coolSteals 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 blissMama used to warn me to beware 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 saysI 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 InfatuationSkin 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' inHe 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 meMama 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 saysI 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 InfatuationCaught between my mama's words
And what I feel inside
I'm wanting to explore his world
But part of me wants to hideShould 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 tonightPapi 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 lonelyI 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
