Starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love.

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

I saw you standing there from across the room, and i knew what you were thinking, the night had just begun, it was a quarter to ten, it was time we started drinking,

You walked right up to me, you had this look in your eyes, yeah i think i nearly lost it, You offered me a glass but i was so into you that i think i nearly dropped it,

So, starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

You acted in disguese, but i could recognise, all the hints that you were placing, then you took me by suprise when you led me to your room, yeah my blood pressure was racing,

My thoughts began to stur and my vision was blurred, from the shots we had been drinking, but then you grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me in for a kiss, yeah your fragrance had me thinking,

So, starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

And when the night came to an end, i was floating half asleep in a dream now, and when the sun began to rise, i realized you were here in my arms all because,

Starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attaced to your touch
