[Verse 1]
I showed her most of Tennessee, that's all I could afford
I even thought of stealin' so I could show her more
But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say
"Hey, I like it here (I like it here), but I love Montego Bay"

[Verse 2]
Oh, I should have gone with her, at least I woulda known
What about Montego Bay that makes its pull so strong
All I've got's a memory of the way she used to say
"Hey, I like it here (I like it here), but I love Montego Bay"

[Verse 3]
Why couldn't I convince her? Why couldn't I make her see?
There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me
When she left, she seemed so happy, I can still hear her say
"Hey, I like it here (I like it here), but I love Montego Bay"

[Verse 3]
Why couldn't I convince her? Why couldn't I make her see?
There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me
When she left, she seemed so happy, I can still hear her say
"Hey, I like it here (I like it here), but I love Montego Bay"
