Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
I arise early looking some tea, rise early
Looking for the daughter but she noh on ya
I take a walk down the street
De gal deh pan corner weh push mouth lorna
And her bed no spread
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
The next day she want I to take a route
Take her to the beach party
Feeling everything would be irie
Wrinkles on her face
Like the things Ive done she don't appreciate
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
She wants wants have noh when she really really getty
Rastafari Know she cant take it
She said natty turn off your light
Give me dreadlock whe you give me first night
So I say
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
