American Sweet (album version)

by Jimmy Cliff

Lyrics
I woke up this morning, turned on my radio
They were playing that song with the island beat
DJ said here's one for lovers
And the name of the song is American Suite
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's American Suite to the reggae beat, mmm hmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's American Suite to the reggae beat, hey hey
Makes me think of a special lady
Who was born and raised in the USA
So in love with the reggae music, yeah
Tell me that it's here to stay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's American Suite to the reggae beat, mmm hmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's American Suite to the reggae beat, hey hey
Now shake and rock it now
Rub-a-dub it now
Shake and rock it now
Rub-a-dub-a-dub it now
Now whenever I call her on the telephone
She say "Jimmy man, when you coming home?"
This is what she say when she hear my music, yeah
"I'm missing you so, gotta see you soon"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's my American Suite to the reggae beat, mmm hmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's my American Suite to the reggae beat, hey hey
Every time we meet
Every time we meet
Oh, knock me off my feet
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's American Suite to the reggae beat, mmm hmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's my American Suite to the reggae beat, hey hey
Oh, so sweet, so sweet
Every time we meet
Oh, knock me off my feet
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
