Island dawta dem sweet, hehehey, I think about her every day
Island gurl sweet, aye I, gotta have her in my life
Hey, she sweet as ice tea in the south an sun brewed
Sometimes the sweetness ah bitter when she agwaan rude
Hol heap a attitude, she start kiss her teeth
She cuss mi out but in the accent it's still sweet
Then later on give her the meter half of the night
Like Beres say love is sweeter after the fight
She got a heavenly body, she attracting the light
Of the sun, putting vitamin d back in her life
She love the way the sun rise an perform
An gwaan with heat up in her belly belly warm
She cum like a storm cah mi wicked from mi born
An she know mi deh from Texas so she want the longhorn
When we dweet, oh she say it sweet
Eyes roll back in her head, she curl up she feet
Island gurl sweet, more than the beauty of the week
She simply ah de beauty, yuh nuh seet
Island gurl sweet....
