Baha Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't matter where we go as long as I´m with you
Loving and holding you close
So take my hand and leave your worries and your cares behind,
Let´s fly away to paradise
'Cause you, you are a city girl and I am an island man
I´ll help you understand oh

You know a holiday is coming we can break away
And if it´s you and me together we can save the day
Love it when we, we can break away [Repeat: x 2]

Our tomorrows and our yesterdays are passing by
And you know the time has finally come
For us to get away from everything that brings us down
See baby it´s time to have some fun

'Cause you, you are a city girl and I am an island man
I´ll help you understand oh

You know a holiday is coming we can break away
And if it´s you and me together we can save the day
Love it when we, we can break away [Repeat: x 2]

See you and me baby we can can get away,
Explore the islands and put our footprints, deep in the sand yeah
That´s how we do, you are my sweetheart so let me call you boo,
That´s true,
I can see us cruising to the Bahamas,
Why don´t you flow with me, and you will truly see,
Hanging with family,
Is what everything´s all about,
It´s as good as it gets that´s without a doubt (ha ha)

We´ve waited for so long I just can´t believe
We´re standing here, my love

You know a holiday is coming we can break away




And if it´s you and me together we can save the day
Love it when we, we can break away [Repeat: x 3]
