China girl
I met you on the sea sand
You touched me with your cool hand
Your perfume's in the wind

China girl
Your daddy tells you white lies
To keep you from my blue eyes
To know me is no sin

And I won't break you, China girl
If you take me into your world
It's been my good fortune to find you
China girl

Stolen flowers are sweetest in the mornin'
The Eastern sun is dawnin'
Your silk's against my skin

China girl
Take me to your jasmine place
Cool me with your subtle grace
To know me is no sin

And I won't break you, China girl
If you take me into your world
It's been my good fortune to find you
China girl

And I won't break you, China girl
If you take me into your world
It's been my good fortune to...

Find you, China girl
If you take me into your world
It's been my good fortune to find you
China girl
