Lyrics
AFRODESIAC Remix (PUMP IT UP)
(Music by Nomi Yah, lyrics by Nomi Yah & Xsample)
(Verse 1)
Remember on that first night? Remember the waterside?
I was high, you were fine. How could I change my mind?
I never guessed that you?d last maybe a time or two.
Some little thing you do made me get into you.
(Chorus)
Your eyes deep and black are like an afrodesiac
Your eyes deep and black are an afrodesiac
Your eyes deep and black are an afrodesiac
Afrodesiac
Pump it up and mek dem feel the action
Tell the woman sey mi gie har love and affection
Pump it up and mek dem feel the action
Tell the woman sey mi come from the Caribbean
Pump it up
(Verse 2)
I like the way that you walk your walks. I like the way that you talk your talks
I like the way that you lock your locks. I like the way that you toss your locks
I like buying you shoes and socks. Like being with you on your walks
Like buying you heart shaped rocks. Like being inside your pockets
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
From the way yu si mi walk yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi dress yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi locks yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu hear mi chat yu know sey mi a Jamaican
You say you?re so picky who you?re gonna kick kick it with
It?s so tricky who you?re gonna click click it with
You know quick who?ll make your Bic flicker
And you know quick who?ll make your Cricket click-it
In the big city, who?s a little bit of pretty
Not a bit of pity, not a little nitty gritty
Not a bit sickly, not a bit rick rickety
Cuz you?re so persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be persnickety when it comes to iniquity
Got to be no-diggety, got to be no ambiguity
Got to be connectivity, got to be how come you picked me
And I love that you picked me though I loved you secretly
(Chorus)
(Tag)
From the way yu si mi walk yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi dress yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi locks yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu hear mi chat yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi dance yu know sey mi a Jamaican
From the way yu si mi move yu know sey mi a Jamaican
