BROWN SKIN GIRL
Santana featuring Bo Bice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A devil and a savior, all in one
Her eyes can heal me or they can make me bleed
Her lips have me addicted to the poetry
But never really knowing just who I am
And I confess that I don't mind at all
'Cause I would trade the world away to stay inside this dream
I got a lover, a brown skin girl
She's got a magic of another world
And every time that I think of her, I'm on fire, fire
She knows a way, a spiritual flow
Making me dizzy like a vertigo
Her cinnamon kisses melt my soul like fire, yeah
I get a strong vibration
When she just says my name
And it drives me crazy
'Cause I don't know if she feels the same
But she likes to breathe some mystery in all she does
She laughs and says that I'm under her spell
Now I won't lie, I enjoy the ride and pray it never ends
I feel her deeper than anything I've felt
I got a lover, a brown skin girl
She's got a magic of another world
And every time that I think of her, I'm on fire, fire
She knows a way, a spiritual flow
Making me dizzy like a vertigo
Her cinnamon kisses melt my soul like fire
Oh, I can't help but crave another taste of her
Like a drowning man that's praying for the rain
And how she worked her way inside, I'll never understand
She's too beautiful to ever take the blame
But she'll always fan the flame
My brown skin girl, my brown skin girl
I got a lover, a brown skin girl
She's got a magic of another world
And every time that I think of her, I'm on fire, fire
She knows a way, a spiritual flow
Making me dizzy like a vertigo
Her cinnamon kisses melt my soul like fire, yeah
I got a lover, a brown skin girl
She's got a magic of another world
And every time that I think of her, I'm on fire, fire
She knows a way, a spiritual flow
Making me dizzy like a vertigo
Her cinnamon kisses melt my soul like fire
