Gringa - I'ma Build a Home Lyrics

I'ma build a home, I'ma make it strong, make it stand alone
So that you understand how serious I am 'bout our future plans
I'll give you all I can, show I'm your biggest fan, and then
You'll never leave again, because I love you!
So together's how our story ends

I remember how we came to be
There was you some friends and me at a"show de reggae"
I was a little shy until I met your eyes
Suddenly my destiny I could plainly see
And all my neighbors always stared
And my mama had doubts about our controversial affair
Though I'm insecure, I always loved you more
My life with you to share became my only care

So I'ma build a home, I'ma make it strong, make it stand alone
So that you understand how serious I am 'bout our future plans
I'll give you all I can, show I'm your biggest fan, and then
You'll never leave again, because I love you!
So together's how our story ends

I can still feel Fridays at the beach
Where we soaked in the sun and the sea, carefree, smoking trees
I then knew my dream come true would be a family with you
But for that to be you'd need much more from me
So when you decided to explore
You said that something was calling that you couldn't ignore
Though I swelled with pain, I agree we needed change
I know when you come back you'll be sure I'm what you're looking for

'Cause I'ma build a home, I'ma make it strong, make it stand alone
So that you understand how serious I am 'bout our future plans
I'll take you by the hand, give you all that I can, and then
You'll never leave me again, because I love you!
So together's how our story ends

I'ma build a home, I'ma make it strong, it won't take too long
Before I show you everything that I can do
I'll do the best I can to make you see
What you really mean to me
I love you, and that's all that I ever knew.
