Ms Carmelita - Funky DL, Xantoné Blacq

Yo', Ms Carmelita, Republica de' Dominica

Beautiful creature said she used to live in Costa Rica

Father’s a preacher and her Mother was a Spanish Teacher

I used to tease her cos her smile was like the Mona Lisa

But she a keeper, I fell for her deeper and deeper

Ms Senorita, anything she’d tell me, I’d believed her

Cos I was eager to give her all my time and please her

I was a dreamer, I’m mesmerized, so I get weaker

She held composure, so didn’t hand her feelings over

As I got closer, I thought she’d show me more exposure

But she got colder, communication mediocre

And so I told her that I’m prepared to take it slower

And tried to show her that she could put her faith in me

But always got the feeling that she empty like a vacancy

And it’s like I’m hypnotised and nothing would awaken me

I don’t believe in magic, but her spell cannot be shaken free

Hey now, not a tear in her eyes

Hey now, there’s not a tear

Hey now, not a tear in her eyes

Oh, hey now, there’s not a tear

Yo, I’d get suspicious and wonder if she was malicious

And started feeling like the love she had for me’s fictitious

It’s like she playing chess and she the Queen, I’m just a Bishop

Sometimes I go down on my knees and pray like I’m religious

Maybe she’s troubled, cos there’s something she ain’t telling me

Cos every time I look into her eyes there’s no serenity

And there’s no sincerity, it’s like there ain’t no remedy

And so whenever we come together the chemistry is decomposing

It’s like someone with no emotion, something is broken

I can’t fix it without a notion of what the problem is

But no disclosure, it’s just corrosion

It’s like she made of stone, just like she was completely frozen

I tried to get some advice, they told me leave her

Cos maybe she just stoned on smoking Cannabis Sativa

Or maybe nothing’s wrong, it’s just the way that you perceive her

I couldn’t tell you either, but I’m stuck on Carmelita (Carmelita, Carmelita…)

Hey now, not a tear in her eyes

Hey now, there’s not a tear

Hey now, (hey now) not a tear in her eyes

Oh, hey now, (hey now) there’s not a tear

(Hey now), hey now, not a tear

(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes

(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes

(hey now), hey now, now, now, oooh!

He-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay (x4)
