Lyrics Esmeralda - Arrested Development

Esmeralda

I’m feelin' esmerelda
The times I don’t think about the girl is seldom
And all the special memories I had I held em
Some ask have you ever felt a girl I tell em…
We met at a post office and let me say that I died when I seen you
Shaped like a goddess from the region of mosimbique
Butternut tone kinda thick on the bones
Couldn’t leave it alone had to think of how I would speak to you
You was inside I was out for some time
I had hopped in my jeep thinking of a line to intrigue you
My spontaneous reaction when I saw you jettin'
Is to see if you was down wit doing something for my crew
Maybe in a video but not as a video ho (sir nose voice)
But more like a character wit a legitimate iq
It was good that you had never ever heard of my group
You was into whitney and r&b type live grooves
I handed you my phone number hoping &praying
That underneath it all a call would be following real soon
One, two, three four days past weeks later
I got the call I told my crew
Everybody
I’m feelin' esmerelda
The times I don’t think about the girl is seldom
And all the special memories I had I held em
Some ask have you ever felt a girl I tell em…
(Oooh woo)
We walked the parkways and watched some kids play and ducks mate while we
shared each others «one days» dreams
I knew within… that you were more than just a partner for sin
It would depend on what the future brings
So I was trying to call the future to ask
But the line was always busy or no one was answering
Maybe I had the wrong number, but none the less
We decided it’s funner to invest in possibilities
Esmerelda singing in spanish:
I loved you more than I knew I could love anyone
However I am torn between my father who is sick in my country and who needs me
And you who is here in this country.
But I must tend to his needs
I will be back will you wait for me?
I so hope to see your face again
It brings me reasons for waking no mistaking
Yo but I’m living
As a artist in a group with a record and a tour
Every second there’s a newer fine woman that could lure
Me away I can’t hang with the fame and the days
Of your face being just a faint memory a trace
Girl I need you by my side it’s a vibe that you give
And I’ll live for you if you can tell your dad prepare my room
I’m coming over
I’m feelin' esmerelda
The times I don’t think about the girl is seldom
And all the special memories I had I held em
Some ask have you ever felt a girl I tell em…
(Years later they had 8 beautiful children and the first was named after
esmerelda’s father)
