Island Girl - Remastered
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington 'cross 47th Street
Oh, she's a big girl, she's standin' six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
(Oh) Island girl
Black boy wants you in his island world
He wants to take you from your racket boss
He wants to save you, but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
Well, she's black as coal but she burn like a fire
And she wraps herself around you like a well-worn tire
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake, oh-oh-oh
He one more gone, he one more John who makes the mistake
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
(Oh) Island girl
Black boy wants you in his island world
He wants to take you from your racket boss
He wants to save you, but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
(Oh) Island girl
Black boy wants you in his island world
He wants to take you from your racket boss
He wants to save you, but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's...
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's...
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's...
