Down in Kingston town

Where I was born and grown

They used to say I was a ragamuffin girl

They used to laugh at me like I was such a freak

Said I'd never mount to much in this road

Or I'll never mount to much

Now all their lies don't seem so cruel

'Cause in your eyes I'm beautiful

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more

Him and all his friends they took my innocence

Pinned me down against a cold Jamaican floor

I hung me head so low I couldn't let it go

Nobody would love me

Now when we lay I feel u deep in my soul

I'm not afraid anymore

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more

I search no more

When I was feelin' low when I was giving up

U never let me go u always picked me up

When I was down and out u didn't kick me out you said

Take my hand baby I understand

U stuck around u never never let me down no way

Now all their lies don't seem so cruel anymore

I not afraid not anymore

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more baby

I search no more baby

Down in Kingston town

Where I was born and grown

They used to say I was a ragamuffin girl
