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

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 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
