It all went down at the cantina that she liked
Everyone would watch her as she danced all through the lights
She was the center of attraction in his mind
Maria thought she'd never find a man worth her time

Oooo he came into the room
Oooo she really liked the way that he began to move
They were in the mood for romancin'



There's a fire in little Havana
Flame so hot you can't stand it
Things are getting a little crazy
Someone better tell them that

Love don't come that easy
(I know you're ready boy)
We've got to control all emotions that we're feeling
Love don't come that easy
We've gotta be strong -- swing
We've gotta stay strong -- straight

As he took her in his arms
She got an instant chill
A sense of passion
She thought no one could make her feel
Their bodies moved with such intensity
The lights went down
Made sighs of pleasure
Like there was no one else around



Ooh now she's in the mood
Ooh to show him what she wants to do
She's got him crazy
There's a fire in little Havana
Flame so hot ya can't stand it
Thing's are gettin' a little crazy
Can you feel it -- ooh
Are you ready -- ooh

[Chorus]
