I have a secret place

Inside my mind

Goes to my head

So many times I've loved you more than myself

Love turned to hate

Rock the Reggae music 'cause it sounds so fine, right!

Ab
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine

                   Bb
But in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same

         G
I know something going on, and I know who's to blame.

Cm
Every time I tell you I'm the real Romeo

   Ab
It fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow

        Bb
'Cause something's going on, and I think you should know

   Cm
So listen to my rhyme, 'cause this is how it goes:

Cm
In a tight mini short, in a short mini skirt
It feels so wrong and it feels so right
    Ab
The more I think about it, you're a pain in the ass
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last
Bb
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right

      G
Not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, 'cause
