Top all the way down
Been around the world and I
Met a lot of girls
never one quite like you
Way you stole my heart was lightning from the start
Vudu magic like you do
Smiling on the street as you’re walking with bare feet
You’re my smiley girl
Declaring to the world
You’re nothing but that good juju
Love to love to love
Love loving you down
I Love to love to love
Top all the way down
Tanned skin turning brown
Wavy curls to the ground
Green eyes that reflect the sea
Sand between our toes
Everybody knows
What you mean to me
La La la loving you down to that caressing sound
With the music bumping jumping
Bringing us to the ground
La la la loving you down
La la la loving you down
Love to love to love
Love loving you down
I Love to love to love
Top all the way down
Love to love to love
Love loving you down
I Love to love to love
