About Caramel

"Caramel" is the second single released from American R&B/hip hop trio City High's self-titled debut album in 2001. The song was actually written based on the appearance and personality of Brian Gough, though he is actually 5'6" with brown eyes not 5'5" with brown eyes. It is the group's second most successful single, peaking at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks in the U. S. in January 2002. The beat contains vocal samples from the song "Silent Treatment" by The Roots. The charted version was a remix featuring rapper Eve. The album version that did not chart replaces Eve's rap with the section of which Claudette Ortiz sings in Spanish. The remix version was done by Trackmasters.

You can say I'm plain Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't in to big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and uh football games
I wouldn't mind being an actress, but I love to sing
I like going out, talking walks and stuff
I don't round that many girls cause they talk too much
I enjoy quiet nights at home cause I'm next to ya
Though I'm ain't a virgin that don't mean I'm having sex with ya

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Baby look me in the eyes
And tell me ya
I'm the kinda girl you like
I'm feeling you
Cause sweetie you're my kinda guy
Thinking about you and I
I wanna run with this
All night long
And if you want me we can keep this going
Let me tell you I'm the type that's strong
And I don't trust a lot of men I'm independent I'm ain't like some other woman

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Ven aqui, Ven aqui Mama
Baby girl don't you know you're a star
We could take a little trip to mi casa
Spend the night popping cris in the hot tub
See I ain't never seen no girl like you
Every sexy little thing you do
5'5' brown eyes with your thick thighs
Every time I see your smile its got me hypnotized

Mira (So can I get your number?)
Mi amor me ama bien
Te encantara si quisieras lo tendras
(I don't know what you said, but I like it)
Dondequiera, soy notada
Lo que que me hayo me consigo
Y morena, ojos negros
Y sonrisa soleada

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

5'5 with brown eyes
sun like the sunrise

5'5 with brown eyes
sun like the sunrise
