Lyrics Ms Carmelita - Funky DL, Xantoné Blacq

Ms Carmelita

Yo', Ms Carmelita, Republica de' Dominica
Beautiful creature said she used to live in Costa Rica
Father’s a preacher and her Mother was a Spanish Teacher
I used to tease her cos her smile was like the Mona Lisa
But she a keeper, I fell for her deeper and deeper
Ms Senorita, anything she’d tell me, I’d believed her
Cos I was eager to give her all my time and please her
I was a dreamer, I’m mesmerized, so I get weaker
She held composure, so didn’t hand her feelings over
As I got closer, I thought she’d show me more exposure
But she got colder, communication mediocre
And so I told her that I’m prepared to take it slower
And tried to show her that she could put her faith in me
But always got the feeling that she empty like a vacancy
And it’s like I’m hypnotised and nothing would awaken me
I don’t believe in magic, but her spell cannot be shaken free
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes
Hey now, there’s not a tear
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes
Oh, hey now, there’s not a tear
Yo, I’d get suspicious and wonder if she was malicious
And started feeling like the love she had for me’s fictitious
It’s like she playing chess and she the Queen, I’m just a Bishop
Sometimes I go down on my knees and pray like I’m religious
Maybe she’s troubled, cos there’s something she ain’t telling me
Cos every time I look into her eyes there’s no serenity
And there’s no sincerity, it’s like there ain’t no remedy
And so whenever we come together the chemistry is decomposing
It’s like someone with no emotion, something is broken
I can’t fix it without a notion of what the problem is
But no disclosure, it’s just corrosion
It’s like she made of stone, just like she was completely frozen
I tried to get some advice, they told me leave her
Cos maybe she just stoned on smoking Cannabis Sativa
Or maybe nothing’s wrong, it’s just the way that you perceive her
I couldn’t tell you either, but I’m stuck on Carmelita (Carmelita, Carmelita…)
Hey now, not a tear in her eyes
Hey now, there’s not a tear
Hey now, (hey now) not a tear in her eyes
Oh, hey now, (hey now) there’s not a tear
(Hey now), hey now, not a tear
(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes
(hey now), hey now, not a tear in her eyes
(hey now), hey now, now, now, oooh!
He-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay-ee-yay (x4)
