You were only near me
To enjoy the warm summer nights
And I was givin' in to the feelin'
I wasn't sure if it was right
But under the Jamaican moon
All the world is dim from view
Now you, now you can play the fool
I heard you went back
To the east side of the city
Where we first met
But your heart is here
And all the lovin' that you can get
Under the Jamaican moon
All the world is dim from view
Hey, now you, now you can play the fool
Now you, now you can play the fool
Time and time and time again
You find yourself in chains
City blues and pain
It's always just the same
Every radio is blaring
A hole in the wall
On the streets, the men are sweating
In dirty overalls
But under the Jamaican moon
All the world is dim from view
Hey, now you, now you can play the fool
Now you, now you can play the fool
Oh, whoa, now you, baby
Now you can play the fool
