Bonafide Love
You don't have to be rich
'Cause money ain't the goal
But with that good lovin'
We got it in stock, hear what I'm sayin'
(Oh yes)
You might not be a movie star
You might not drive a fast car
But I love you in every way
I love you in every way
(Every way I can think of)
I don't know why
(I'll tell you)
Oh, why I don't know why, oh, why
(Oh, oh, yes)
Girl, you may not be wealthy, not driving a fast car
But I won't leave you out 'cause we’ve come so far
Remember when I only had one old shirt?
Now you’re rocking with me in that tight little skirt
As long as I'm on this earth, my dear
I won't forget where I came from, I won't treat you unfair
I'll keep on loving you
Always
I don't know why, oh
Why I don't know why, oh, why
Here’s why, 'cause I’m hooked on your lovin'
Like a big snapper fish
The way you look, the way you dress, I just can't resist
Your personality, there's no one like it
Buju Banton telling the world, girl, you’re the shit
But I love you in every way
I love you in every way
I don't know why, oh, why
I don't know why, oh, why
Here’s why, why is a lookin' letter, cut it off to get a fee
Woman, I'm telling you I love you endlessly
I won't pay them no mind, I won't hear what they say
Donkey ears now sense that you and I are here to stay
But I don't care, I'd rather have you
I'll keep on loving you
I don't know why
(I'll tell you why)
Oh, why
I don't know why
(Hear why)
Oh, why
I don't know why, oh
Why I don't know why, oh, why
(Oh, oh, yes)
Girl, I say you may not be wealthy, not driving a fast car
But I won't leave you out 'cause we’ve come so far
Remember when I only had my one old shirt?
And you’re rocking with me in that tight little skirt
As long as I’m here on this earth
I won’t leave you out, you know I won’t treat you unfair
I love you in every way
I don't know why, oh, why I don't know why, oh why
(I'll tell you why, hear why)
'Cause I’m hooked on your love like a big snapper fish
The way you look, the way you dress makes it hard to resist
Your personality, there's no other like it
Buju Banton telling the world that you’re the shit
A woman like you is one in a million
Want you in my arms twenty-four seven
I’d get jealous if I see another man
Don’t trespass on my land
'Cause I’m the only one for you, no other one
You’re the greatest woman on this island
Greater than rubies, greater than pearls
The prettiest woman to me in this world
Stand tall, you hear me, girl
You may not be wealthy or drive a fast car
But I won’t leave you, we’ve come so far.
