Buju Banton feat. Beres Hammond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby things, I′d like to do
Ooi, all the things I'd love to say
I cherish every moment that you′re around
I might not show it cuz I can't find words to say
I try to say I love u, but I get tongue tied
I start to read the words and fail in every way

I wish u wud stay longer (just a little longer) bright up my life like Disney World wooooii (see ya)
I wish u wud stay longer (to make me strong and stronger)
But just like magic you were gone (woooh baby)
Woman just a likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want ya brighten up me life, mek it glisten like pearl
Just a likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want ya brighten up me life, mek it glisten like...

You're a nice and decent well brought up girl
You′re the pillar to my castle, the mistress to my world
Lighten up my life, cuz you′re not shy shy girl
I want ya open up ya life and give me full control

I wish u wud stay longer bright up my life like Disney World (see yah, merry go round)
I wish u wud stay longer (don't disappear) but just (stay right there) like magic you were gone
(I sing) you were gone (eh eh)

With a zig and a zag a disappearing act
Gone outta me life n nah oh she come back
So much tings to say, so much tings to chat
Hand pon yer leg and me mind pon yer clat

Just a likkle more time, wudda stay inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl
Likkle more time, woman dun inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl

I could not ask for more, weneva you′re in town
Situation gets serious I feel my knees begin to shake
Hearts beating out of riddim', glad is no doctor′s case
Must get my act together to lose you wud be such a waste

I wish u wud stay longer bright up my life like Disney world
I wish u wud stay longer but just like magic you were gone, ohaaay you're gone

You bring sorrow to me heart and sadness to me face
Trembling from me hip go down straight to me waist
The way u mash up me heart n mash up me face and a
Step in a hurry n move inna haste
So much things to say I wanna tell it to ya face
But I can′t find di words to fit di perfect space
Just a likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl
Likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl

Cuz she a nice and decent well brought up girl
You're the pillar to my castle, the mistress to my world
Brighten up my life, cuh yuh the shine shine girl

Just a likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl
Likkle more time wudda stay inna me world
I want yuh brighten up me life mek it glisten like pearl




It bring sorrow to me heart and sadness to me face
Trembling from me hip go do straight to me waist
