Yeah {Who that?}
Mr. Cheeks and Joe
And away we go
Now if I had a wish, my wish would be somethin? like

On a beach givin? you a kiss, yeah
Spendin? time, havin? lots of fun
Straw hat, lots of sun
Skirt, yeah, strapped around them lovely backs
Starin? at them lovely yachts, word
And look what Jah sent for me
An angel that's meant for me, yeah

That girl thinks that she's so fine
That soon she?ll have my mind
That girl thinks that she's so smart
That soon she?ll have my heart

She thinks in no time flat
That she?ll be free and clear to start
With her emotional rescue of love
That you'll leave torn apart, check it out, uh

That girl thinks that she's so bad
She?ll change my tears from joy to sad, come on
She says she keeps the upper hand
?Cause she can please her man

She doesn't use her love to make him weak
She uses love to keep him strong, ooh, yeah
And inside me there's no room for doubt
That it won't be too long

Before I tell her that I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
I tell her that I?d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to be in her
love (In her love, her love, oh)

I've been hurtin? for a long time
you've been playin? for a long time
You know it?s true
I've been holdin? for a long time
And you've been runnin? for a long time
It?s time to do
What we have to do

Yo?, I can't front, she's there when I need her
I met no one sweeter
I'm talkin? she greets me all the time with a smile
For real, man, I'm lovin? her style, yeah
she's independent and she's got her own
?Cause a club hot man that's not in her zone
Would know to slip in time to be home
Yo?, dime piece, she stay on my mind, let?s be gone

She doesn't use her love to make him weak
She uses love to keep him strong, yeah
And inside me there's no room for doubt
That it won't be too long

Before I tell her I love her
That girl knows every single man
Would ask her for her hand, oh, yeah
But she says her love is much too deep
For them to understand

She says her love?s been cryin? out
But her lover hasn't heard, oh, no
But what she doesn't realize
Is that I've listened to every word

that's why I know I?ll tell that I love her, that I
want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
I tell her that I?d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to be in her
love

Tell her I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
I tell her that I?d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to-to be in her
love

Tell her I love her, that I want her
That I need to do all...
Love her, I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her

That girl (That girl)
That girl (That girl)
That girl (That girl)
Oh, that girl

That girl (That girl)
That girl (That girl)




That girl (That girl)
