Draw fi yuh needle an yuh needle caan stitch it
Draw fi yuh axe, and like a cow yuh all a chop it
Draw fi yuh pickaxe and like a rung yuh all a dig it

2. But anything she want I will give it unto she
A cant believe di day mi friend dem tell mi dat she flee
A dont believe its angry, I dont believe its grief
I dont believe its Susan or the other girls I breed
The love for me she have, that is the only thing I need
I dont think den right now just to loose my main squeeze
Oh guantalamela yuh a killer
Gal the way yuh hot yuh have mi body under pressure
Man see yuh body all a kill mosquito
Hold yuh body right just fi know yuh the power
CHO
I tell myself I dont want anybody else to ever love me
You are my guiding star, my shining light, I love you baby
But that day you leave and yuh gone
I now that girls, they are going crazy
I now the girls lumpsome all a dem a run come
Cause di whole a dem want dis baby
I told you once and I told you twice
That I am the girls dem sugar
Now the girls dem attack mi and di girls dem a rush mi
Because dem a drive inna mi bommer
A di girls dem flavor, I am no slave
I am the helper, no paper
An a girl just watch yah
A want unnuh hear yah an listen wheh di DJ a seh.
