[Intro: Mr. Vegas]
Well this one yah come right 'round the world
All the way from Brazil into Jamaica

From down a Sav right to Rio
From West Moreland all over the whole nation

Dem beat yah built by the baddest thing inna the world
Yeah

[Chorus: Sergio Mendes (Mr. Vegas)]

Olhar do coração

Anywhere me go, a pure girls a gather 'round
Girls from uptown and girls from downtown
Fat girls, slim girls
Girls black, and brown
The amount of gyal we have, all inna love we a drown
[Bridge: Mr. Vegas]
Mr. After Hour Lover, coming to town
Anytime me come, a pure girls a gather 'round
Girls from uptown and girls from downtown
