Somewhere beyond
Open my eyes, dream girl
There lies a place for you and me, yeah, girl
To be together, baby, oh, girl

If you wanna be my friend
And we can live the story tale to the end
Come away with me now
Come away, away

Let's plan out a way
Baby, on a perfect getaway
Girl, let's go, let's go
Come on, come on, come on, on, on
To the island, girl
Yeah-eh

Oh, girl, today is the perfect day out, oh, oh, oh, oh
And you look like you're havin' fun, hey, baby
(Sunshine in the girl)
See, there's no need to be unhappy, oh, no, no, no
I'll keep you excited, we're in the island, girl
Whatever you make it, it's only, yeah, yeah

If you wanna be my friend
We can live the story tale to the end
Come away with me now
Come away, away

Let's plan out a way
Baby, on a perfect getaway
Let's go, let's go
Come on, come on, come on
To the island, girl, yeah

Would you be my tropical girl?

Yeah, beautiful, girl you always stayin' on me mind
I dig the way you shook your body, ooh, you superfine
If you think you got me gone, then you right by that, girl
I admit you got me crazy and I want you in my world

We can walk right on the [?], walk into our favorite song
Take a dip into the ocean, baby, it's been too long
Since I had this much good time with my tropical girl
You so wonderful, girl, be my tropical girl

Let's plan out a way
Baby, on a perfect getaway
Let's go
Come on, come on, come on
Be my tropical girl

Let's plan out a way
Baby, on a perfect getaway
Let's go, let's go
Come on, come on, come on
Be my tropical girl

Girl, be my tropical girl?
Be my tropical girl
Come on, come on
Be my tropical girl
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
