Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Havana, oh na na (ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, oh na na (ay, ay)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na na na, ah
All of my heart is in Havana (ay)
There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh huh)
Havana, oh na na
He didn't walk up with that "how you doin'?"
When he came in the room
He said there's a lot of girls I can talk with (uh)
But I can't without you
I knew him forever in a minute (hey)
That summer day in June
And then he says he got love within him
He got me feelin' like
Ooh, I knew it when I met him
I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin' like
Ooh, and then I had to tell him
I had to go, oh na na na na na
Havana, oh, na na (ay, ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, oh, na na (ay, ay)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na na na
