Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man

I arise early looking some tea (rise early)
Looking for the daughter but she nuh on ya (she nuh on ya)
I take a walk down the street, oh yeah
De gal deh pan corner wi' push-mouth Lorna - and her bed nuh spread

Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man

The next day she want I to take her out, oh oy..
Take her to the beach party, feeling everything would be irie
Wrinkles on her face, like the things I've done she don't appreciate

Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man

She wanti' wanti' an' ah when she really really geti', oy!
Rastafari knows she can't take it
She said Natty turn off your light, oh, oh yeah, oy
Give me dreadlock whe you give me first night
Oh I say

Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man [bad word] 
shine-eye girl is a girl that uses emotion to get what she wants and is never satisfied, i.e. her eyes shine because her eyes are often widened and sometimes tearful.

'Push-mouth Lorna' is a generic name for a sour-faced girl - the trouble-making friend. In this case she is being criticised because she didn't even fix (or 'spread') her bed sheets before she went out - something a Jamaican lady is told always to do from childhood.
