Love Poem: Filipina Girl

Filipina Girl

(Verse 1)

How did I find you
Half a world away?
Must be divine intervention
Or maybe just my luckiest day

An internet messenger
Brought me your smile
And made my dead heart beat again

(Verse 2)

I thought romance was obsolete
And true love passe'
I guess heartache and time
Bore a cynical mind
About love, western women
And the games that they play

I did my time with the modern kind
The bombshell blonde mystique
And their checklist of needs to be filled
It's so hard to believe
I could find my reprieve
In those eyes, dark as night
Oh please, my heart be still

(Chorus)

I can't believe she's here to stay
I'm so in love with my pinay
My filipina girl

She's lovely dark in every way
But she's the sunshine in my day
My filipina girl

(Break - Solo Section)

(Verse 3)

Oh it's so divine
That your heart's just like mine
Ever hoping there's one meant for you
Guess it's true what they say
Somehow love finds a way
Cuz love's the blessed miracle
That brought me here to you

(Chorus)

I can't believe she's here to stay
I'm so in love with my pinay
My filipina girl

She's lovely dark in every way
But she's the sunshine in my day
My filipina girl

(Alt Chorus)

Her heart's my home and there I'll stay
You'll never find me far away
My filipina girl

Gonna take my girl and get away
Share a towel on the beach at Boracay
My filipina girl

F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A
I spell beautiful that way
My filipina girl

F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A
I love that faux naivete'
My filipina girl

I love my P-I-N-A-Y (filipina girl)
You know I'll never say goodbye (filipina girl)
I can't believe she's here to stay (filipina girl)
She's the sunshine in my day (filipina girl)

F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A (filipina girl)
F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A (filipina girl)

(Repeat Out Ad Nauseum)
