looking to id an old dancehall tune from early-mid eighties...lyrics went something like

girl your pretty looks can't hold me
you have to be good to control me
girl your pretty smile won't hold me.....

eh, shoo be doo beh eh
shoo bee doo bee doo bee doo beh

nice laid back tune, any ideas?

barrington levy i believe, forget the title though

"pretty looks" might be a good guess

yeah, i know the barrington levy tune, but that's not the one. the one i'm thinking of has a different feel, more emphasis on the shoobee doo bee doo beh part! it could be called pretty looks though.....

If it's the Barrington tune you are looking for, it's called "Shaolin Temple".

thanks, but it's not the barrington tune that i'm thinking of. it features some of the same lyrics but in a different style....
