Give thanks that there an empress inna me life, oh jah
She loves me and she make us satifsied, oh jah
To love her I will make a sacrafice, oh jah
To keep her in my life (Good love inna me life)
Give thanks that there an empress inna me life, oh jah
She love me and she always satisfy, oh jah
To love her I will make a sacrifice, oh jah
To keep her in my life (True love inna me life)
She na *sleep naked* an listen to me
She speak only truth and reality
An when she come inna me yard it is a blessing to me
An conversation intellegently
She a the water to me root and she cant dilute
She gon bear me fruit and there is no dispute
The jungle to my heart she know the route
As night turn to day no substitute
Chorus
Cause you dont see me dont mean I dont care
Cause I cannot touch you not mean Im not there
Although we are apart feelings we share
Im a man upon mission please be aware
The road it might be rough but woman don't be afraid
The journey might be long but dont lose your faith
Im oceans away but we communicate
And soon I will be home and we gonna have a day
Chorus
Love how she kiss how she caress
The passion not sway how she put me to the test
When it comes to lovin she an empress at the best
I dont need a witness I confess
Everynight I pray that she never leaves me loney
Always pon the road and me know that it not easy
Express to her that she are my one and only
Future will be bright mother of my baby
Chorus
