Lost Mi Lover

[Intro]
I think I know what's coming
Jesus Christ
Sounds reasonable
A special request and a popular demand
And your little wish is my command
A musical shack-attack, I play ‘em on the track
Dis one 'bout to make you rock
Whether you’re white or black, don’t say, don’t say

[Chorus]
Lost mi love up on di Queen's Highway
Lost mi love up on di Queen's Highway
Never get it back until di very next day
Mi never get it back until di very next day
Mi search down Kingston to Montego Bay
Search down Kingston to Montego Bay
Mi cyaan find mi girl name Fay
She must have gone with di boss deejay

[Verse 1]
Cah, mi no matter what di people of di world may say
Well, no matter what di people of di world may say
Before mi go a bed, mi say, mi know mi have fi pray
She gone with di boss deejay
Jah man, she gone with di boss deejay

[Refrain]
Cah, want l-o-v-e, love you
I want k-i-s-s, kiss you
I want l-o-v-e, love you

A would you give a little loving? (Oh, Jah)
A would you give a little loving? (Oh, Jah)

[Chorus]
Beca' mi, lost mi love up on di Queen's Highway (Say, mi)

You sugar your lips before you give it to mi
