It's I, Maxi Priest and me have to mention
Lord me never hear such a dangerous band
In case you never know say dem name caution
Now you a go get a little information

So girl set yourself inna good position
Wind up your body inna slow motion
Hug up your boyfriend on even your husband

Caution, me say you got to have caution
Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man
Caution, me say you got to have caution
Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man

So hear the bass drum, that the one must set de time
Then you know fe we lyrics have fe rhyme
You hear the snare drum, that the one must set de pace
Man a shake dem shoulder girl a wind up dem waist

You hear the rhythm section just a chop it fe you
You know sey dem deh style say dem have fe brand new
You hear the hi-hat, it a cook on de shot
You know say dis ya band no carry distortion

Caution, me say you got to have caution

You know we write, riddim militant
We big pon de land, we important
You know we write riddim militant

So watch me people how me write the version
Invention, just origination
I man and Barry Boom say we set up a plan
Set up rehearsal in a studio fashion

Which part that inna Clopham Juction
Hit after hit that a fe we function
That's why you have fe get the band them call caution

Caution, me say you got to have caution
Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man
Caution, me say you got to have caution
Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man

We big pon the land important
You know we write, riddim militant
We big pon de land we important
You know we write riddim militant

So watch me people how me write the version

That's what I, man, Maxi Priest, a go tek and cork the session

So girl set yourself in a good position
Wind up your body inna slow motion
Hug up your boyfriend on even your husband
Maxi Priest a de first singer to drop it in action

Caution, me say you got to have caution
Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man

Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man, Jah la man
