Rude In Blue

[Intro - Female Vocal - Sweet Lover's Rock, singing TO him]
Rude boy so true,
Heard you out on the road,
Still here waitin' on you,
Ah rude boy, you know what to do,
Come through...

[Verse 1 - Male Vocal - Warm, pained, on tour]
Five minute pack up, suitcase zip,
Manager call, tour full up, can't slip,
West Coast callin', LA to the Bay,
Phone dead, time short, had to breakaway.
You did deh wid fam, couldn't get through,
Mi heart heavy, still a think 'bout you,
Plane inna sky, but mi mind deh a yard,
Jamaica to Cali, ya know how love hard.

Verse 2 - Male Vocal - singing TO her
Bookings pilin', stage lights dem bright,
But empty bed, cold inna night,
Mi sing fi crowd, but a you mi sing to,
Every wah guitar lick a call out fi you,
Wah pedal cry like mi heart dem blue,
Steeldrum a ring but a you mi hear through.

[Hook - Female Vocal - Rude Boy Hook, singing TO him]
Rude boy so blue,
Can't take it on the road,
Out here alone without you,
Ah rude boy, what can I do,
Without you...

[Hook - Male Vocal Answer - Rude Girl Hook, singing TO her]
Rude girl so true,
Heard you out on the road,
Still here waitin' on you,
Ah rude girl, you know what to do,
Come through...

[Verse 3 - Female Vocal - Kingston perspective, loyal]
Waitin' a Kingston, sun hot, breeze slow,
Man dem a pree mi, but mi tell dem fi go,
Cold stare, cut eye, mi nuh play dem game,
Tattoo pon mi skin, mi wear yuh name,
Rude boy ink, pon mi heart wid pride,
Any bwoy try come, mi push dem aside.

Verse 4 - Female Vocal - singing TO him
Wish mi could fly out, red eye tonight,
Inna yuh arms, make everythin' right,
From yard to coast, ocean in between,
But mi close mi eyes, you inna mi dream,
Phone pon loud, waitin' pon di call,
Anyting fi you, mi would give it all.

[Chorus - Duet - Male + Female Harmony, both perspectives]
Island dreams, you and I inna di sand,
West Coast sunset, Jamaica inna yuh hand,
Palm tree whisper, say love ago come through,
Fly high, sky blue, me and you,
Island dreams, nuh distance cyan break we,
Glass a shatter, but love ago set we free,
Rude boy, rude girl, one love so fly,
You and I, you and I, 'til we reach di sky.

[Outro - Female Vocal leading, Male ad-lib low harmony]
Rude boy so blue,
Can't take it on the road,
Out here alone without you,
Ah rude boy, what can I do,
Without you...
