She dashed by me in painted on jeans And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame Caribbean queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run I lose my cool when she steps in the room And I get so excited just from her perfume Electric eyes that you can't ignore And passion burns you like never before I was in search of a good time Just running my game Love was the furthest Furthest from my mind Caribbean queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run
