Island Lady

Island Lady - Rick James

My Lady of the Island

You kept me warm on tropic nights

Kept me smilin'

Your naked body lying on the sand

Lady of the Island

I'm your man

I love you and you know it

Like the waves that kiss the sand you somehow show it

Here on your island I would love to stay

Like a bird too soon I'll fly away

When I say I'm leaving you it breaks my heart

'Cause you know I wanna stay with you forever

Your love is fine time after time

And I savor every sip and every swallow

Your brown-skinned body lying on the sand

Lady of the Islands I'm your man

Lady of the Islands understand

Leaving you breaks my heart
