Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
And it's like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same
as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it
Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio,
you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
And it's like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same
as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it
(solo)
And it's like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same
as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it...
I love this song. I think it captures the heat of the summer and this woman perfectly. I love the chorus:
"and it's just like the ocean under the moon / well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you / you've got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth / give me your heart, make it real / or else forget about it"
gosh, I love that. carlos santana is incredible ... and teaming up with rob thomas was just ... awesome.
It's a description of a woman who is calm and mysterious, hence the comparison to the Mona Lisa and her enigmatic smile.
I love the line "like seven inches from the midday sun"
teehee, sex.
i really like this song!!! //I could change my life to better suit your mood Cause you're so smooth// thats my favorite part
this song is absolutely awesome.
it reminds me of the days id travel with my uncle. this was one of our favorite sing alongs.
hes a big santana fan
its basically talking about a hook up or something that turned him around and he started really liking the girl and now he wants her to give him her heart to make his feelings worth it.
amazing guitars. and the fact that its in pop stations means nothing. liking or disliking a song because of what station plays it is bogus and shallow.
music is music. you like it or you dont.

Oh my GOSH I can't hear this song enough! It's Rob Thomas lamenting a girl and posing an ultimatum: "Give me your heart/make it real/or else forget about it."
This song is straight up sexy. Rob Thomas just makes it all the hotter. I could make it real for him in a heartbeat.
Hey, this is a place to interpret songs any way you like! Could be a double-meaning =p
such a sexy song... pictures summer romance quite nicely really, with a spanish woman making this guy want her through being all cool and not letting the heat of the moment get the better of her....
people seem to think that it was Santana who came up with this because of all the Spanish references, but it was actually Rob Thomas who wrote it. He wrote it for his wife Marisol, who's Puerto Rican.
I found this song in my itunes last week and it has been playing nonstop since then! If a radio could experience an orgasm, this song is the sound that orgasm would sound like!
This is about a woman who is basically suicidal and she is contemplating ending her life (if you said this life ain't good enough - I would give my world to lift you up to better suit your mood) - and a man (a musician) who is basically infatuated with her.
indeed it was.
