Hi breddas! In this opportunity I'd like to complete and correct the lyrics of the song called Caress me girl by Dennis Brown. Could someone help me, please?

The first time I'm... you
you think....
... my heart... I was in love with you

So caress me girl
embrace me girl
you'll never ever go astray (x2)

A man in my position can't afford...
you've been... intelligent making me furious

So caress me girl
embrace me girl
you'll never ever go astray
caress me girl
embrace me girl
caress me girl
embrace me girl
make me feel like I... man

Greeting from Peru!

I would say (but I'm not a native speaker)

The first time I made eyes at you
you teased and said I'm not true...well
yet deep in my heart I knew
I was in love with you

A man in my position can't afford to look ridiculous, no
you insult, you insult my intelligence, making me feel (...)

that last word I don't understand, either

airofjah is probably the world's biggest lovers rock fan

That's true, haha . I really like so much lovers rock, especially, the songs from Dennis Brown. Even though I like so much roots and dancehall reggae too. Evidence of this, hahaha : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f42UdpNVEC0.
