I wonder how yuh send yuh little youth go to school
And every day yuh de pan corner ah sharpen up yuh tool
See me every hour, every time when mi pass
Me have fe wonder if your eyes ah magnifying glass
See mi in ah mi car, look how me glass them dark
Mi have fe wonder if yuh ah spy, or you ah work for yuh boss
And every day yuh ah tell me let off ah thing
Me have fe wonder if yuh cripple or your hand them fin

Mine off ah me, mine off ah me
Mine off ah me, duh take yuh mine off ah me
Take yuh eye off ah me, eye off ah me
Eye off ah me, duh take yuh eye off ah me..

Jah say by the sweat of your back, that's how you reap your bread
I wonder wah them ah plan
Ah wonder wah them ah meds
Give yuh basket fe carrry water from the well
See yuh with Michel an then dey run gwan guh tell
And pear mix up in dey family
Can't even find food for little Melanie
Man ah looks of dey woman
Come off de corner gwan and find something to do man

Mine off ah me, mine off ah me
Mine off ah me, duh take yuh mine off ah me
Take yuh eye off ah me, eye off ah me
Eye off ah me, duh take yuh eye off ah me..

And she say you say he say, everybody say
You say you hear ,so what he say, what do you say
But turn your hands, gwan guh mek fashion
Find yuh woman,
Show her some passion,
Babylon ,ah deal with we Russian
Listen to the style ,and listen to the parton

Mine off ah me, mine off ah me
Mine off ah me, duh take yuh mine off ah me
Take yuh eye off ah me, eye off ah me
Eye off ah me, duh take yuh eye off ah me..
