[Verse 1] In Saigon she crossed my path Silk dress, sharp as glass Street food steam on her cheeks And a smile that shook my knees She said, “boy, keep up with me” Like a drum line on the street I forgot my name that night When she turned and caught the light [Pre-Chorus] Ay, ay, ay She move like fire Ay, ay, ay Take me higher [Chorus] Saigon la bella Saigon la bella She spin me, she spin me And I fall in the rhythm Saigon la bella Saigon la bella One look from that girl And my heart starts to give in [Verse 2] On the corner by the market gate She laughed like she owned the day Gold hoops, quick little step Every man there lost his breath I tried cool, she read my face Then she pulled me in place “Don’t just watch,” she said to me “Move your feet and follow me” [Pre-Chorus] Ay, ay, ay She move like fire Ay, ay, ay Take me higher [Chorus] Saigon la bella Saigon la bella She spin me, she spin me And I fall in the rhythm Saigon la bella Saigon la bella One look from that girl And my heart starts to give in [Bridge] When the night leans low She don’t slow down She turns one glance Into a whole damn crowd Ay, ay, ay Say my name Ay, ay, ay Then she pulls me back again [Final Chorus] Saigon la bella Saigon la bella She spin me, she spin me And I fall in the rhythm Saigon la bella Saigon la bella One look from that girl And my heart starts to give in Saigon la bella Saigon la bella (La bella) I’m lost in the fire And I never want to leave
