Rendez-Vous Lyrics
Alpha Blondy And The Solar System
Lyrics
When the night, all right
And the full moon light shinning so bright
Don´t go away, please stay
My love for you so strong
We just can´t go wrong
Tears in your eyes, you can´t deny
You´ve been crying, crying all along the day
Tears in your eyes can´t lie
Stop crying, crying before it gets too late
Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Yes, I know that your first love hurt you so
I wish my love could heal your broken heart
And if you want tomorrow to be a brighter day
Now! oh Lord love me the way you love no one else
Love me the way you love no one else
I beg you love me the way you love no one else
So Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Barbozizi zizi Barbozazaza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza!
