though I know you're not at home

  Your brown skin
shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back

and your sunglasses on baby

for you will still be strong

   I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream

  Remember how you made me crazy?
remember how I made you scream

  Now I don't understand
what happened to our love
B
  But babe I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
