Sweet Spanish Man Lyrics

SWEET SPANISH MAN // Chantelle Ernandez / Genis Trani
Uuhhmm this is my dilema .. Hear mi now
(verse1)
1 O’clock lef mi yaad fi go dance, arrive pon de scene half past;
Feeling a little too free but mi nah watch nuh face,
well waan bruk out so mi a try find a space.
Tek a look to de right and it crowded, look to mi lef and mi doubt it,
looked straight ahead and 10 feet away from me,
I see him there and I forget how to breathe.
(chorus)
Heaven help me, I’m in love wid a sweet Spanish man,
mi really waan fi tell him but him nah go understand.
What’s wrong with me? Usually mi talk and don’t give a dyam,
but all of a sudden him press mi pause button.

(verse2)
Should I say hello? Should I even dare?
I wonda if him notice seh mi tan’ up and a stare?
Maybe I should run, maybe I should just leave -
but hol’ on, mi dun pay mi money fi come een.
Dear Lawd deliver mi he’s coming over;
I should look away, I should look over my shoulder.
What am I to do if this man ever approach mi?
What can I really say if the words won’t escape?
(chorus)
Heaven help me, I’m in love wid a sweet Spanish man,
mi really waan fi tell him but him nah go understand.
What’s wrong with me? Usually mi talk and don’t give a dyam,
but all of a sudden him press mi pause button.
(bridge)
I wish I could toughen up and tell you baby -
mi luv yuh off from mi see yuh last year;
mi av’ yuh numba but mi nah go call yuh cah mi scared.
I dream of you and me kissing each other passionately.
Sometimes mi get brave and waan approach yuh,
but one look in yuh brown eyes and it’s all over.
(chorus)
Heaven help me, I’m in love wid a sweet Spanish man,
mi really waan fi tell him but him nah go understand.
What’s wrong with me? Usually mi talk and don’t give a dyam,
but all of a sudden him press mi pause button.
(verse3)
Jah know dis just bruk mi vibes.
Mi still waan bruk out but it don’t feel right.
How could I allow myself to get so frozen?
How could I forget who I am all of a sudden?
Tink faas and figure out wah fi do -
mi cyaa jus mek anodda gyal come kick weh mi foot.
Maybe I should go up and throw my arms around him -
pull him one side try to make him think he knows me.
(chorus) (2)
Heaven help me, I’m in love wid a sweet Spanish man,
mi really waan fi tell him but him nah go understand.
What’s wrong with me? Usually mi talk and don’t give a dyam,
but all of a sudden him press mi pause button.
