West Coast (Radio Mix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin'
"If you're not drinkin', then you're not playin'"
But you've got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling like
It all could happen
, that's why I'm leaving
You for the music, you for the music
It's true, it's true

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I push it hard, you pull away, I'm feelin' hotter than fire
I'm feeling like there's no one else, brings me higher and higher
Te deseo, cariño, boy it's you I desire
Your love, your love, your love

[Chorus]
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, Ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love, I'm in love)
[Verse 2]
Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons
But you've got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You pull me close, I push away... I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet
I'm alive, I'm a lush
Hold me close you say, hush baby hush

[Chorus]
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, Ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love

[Chorus]
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, Ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
[Outro]
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
