Won’t you give me all your limes
And I will give you a reason
I’ll rub them on my body
And smell like the West Indies

And when I’m feelin’ like the islands
And I’m giving you all my sighs
I beg you when you love me –
Look me in the eyes

It’s your heat that makes me warm
makes me climb on you like a tree
And I don’t need no fancy dancing
When you bend over me

We’ll be like two lazy sunbathers
Swaying palm trees against the sky
And I beg you when you love me –
Look me in the eyes
