Never had a love like this
Come let's take it all around the world

As crazy as it soun' I love-like east-republic neva come aroun'

Ova weh we a wait Jah

An' there is nothin' that can destroy

Come an' mek mi paint di town red
White sand cool breeze an' sunset
Di destination is freedom from stress
That's the better way

Come an' mek mi paint di town red
White sand cool breeze an' sunset
Di destination is freedom from stress

We gotta a lot a things to do don' yuh rememba
An' yuh can put a get away yuh agenda
Pack enough cuh we be gone'til Septemper
Let us sleep before dawn

I pick yuh up to our spot jus' bi di corner
Let me jus' finish up mi draw of marijuana
'Cause I got di tank full a gas
Ready to press gas
And nothin' can come in our way, way

As crazy as it soun' I love-like east-republic neva come aroun'
Yuh neva like it when I leave di compound
