Infatuation
Christina Aguilera Lyrics

He comes from a foreign place
She is fascinated by a man from a different country.

An island far away
He is from a remote island.

Intrigues me with every move
She is captivated by his every action.

Til' I'm breathless, I'm helpless
He takes her breath away and she feels powerless.

Can't keep my cool
She can't control her emotions.

Steals my heart when he takes my hand
She falls in love with him when they dance.

And we dance, to the rhythm of the band
They dance to the music and enjoy each other's company.

I feel his fingertips, grip my hips
She feels his touch on her body.

And I slip as we dip into a rare bliss
They enter a state of pure joy as they dance.

Mama used to warn me
Her mother advised her.

To beware of those Latin lovers
Her mother warned her about Hispanic men.

She said I gave my heart too soon
Her mother thinks she falls in love too quickly.

And that's how I became your mother
Her daughter was born as a result of her falling in love too soon.

I said, Ay mama, you seem to forget
She disagrees with her mother's advice.

I'm not in love yet
She believes she is not in love yet.

Sweet talk don't win me over
She is not easily swayed by flattery.

But I realized
She came to a realization.

Big brown eyes can hypnotize
She is enchanted by his eyes.

When he says
When he speaks.

I am full blood boricua
He is of Puerto Rican descent.

Reads the tattoo on his arm
She sees a tattoo on his arm.

He tells me, Mami, I need ya
He expresses his desire for her.

And my heartbeat pumps so strong
She feels her heart racing.

Getting lost in el ritmo
She loses herself in the rhythm of the music.

He whispers, Te quiero, te quiero
He tells her he loves her.

I begin to give in with no hesitation
She starts to fall in love with him without any resistance.

Can't help my infatuation
She cannot control her strong feelings for him.

Skin the color of cinnamon
His skin has a cinnamon color.

His eyes light up and I melt within
She is entranced by his gaze.

Feels so good it must be a sin
She feels a strong attraction that feels taboo.

I'm giving in (giving in)
She is starting to give herself to him willingly.

He brings life to my fantasies
He fulfills her fantasies.

Sparks a passion inside of me
He ignites a spark of desire within her.

Finds the words when I cannot speak
He says the right things when she cannot express herself.

In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
His heartbeat is soothing to her in moments of quiet.

Not to rush love with another (not to rush love)
Her mother advises her not to rush into a relationship.

She said I'm not trying to lecture
Her mother doesn't want to lecture her.

I just care about my daughter
Her mother cares about her well-being.

Caught between my mama's words
She is conflicted between her mother's advice and her own feelings.

And what I feel inside
She is torn between her emotions and her upbringing.

I'm wanting to explore his world
She wants to get to know him better.

But part of me wants to hide
She is afraid of getting hurt.

Should I risk it? Can't resist it
She cannot resist the temptation of being with him.

This has caught me by surprise
She didn't expect to fall for him so quickly.

Should I, let him take me to Puerto Rico?
She is considering going to Puerto Rico with him.

I can't hold back no more
She cannot contain her feelings any longer.

Papi, hold me
She wants him to hold her.

Say that you adore me (you adore me)
She wants him to express his love for her.

Never let go
She wants him to stay by her side.

Never leave me lonely (leave me lonely)
She doesn't want to feel alone.

It's pure infatuation
Her feelings for him are infatuation, not yet love.
