  • Well, everybody talks about the California 'quakes
    But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
    Was in Miami
    When Amy touched me, oh, it shook me

    I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
    But she said "Be sure, and I'll call you in LA"
    Even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ring
    Calling me from

    Miami, my Amy
    What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
    Miami, my Amy
    Miami, my Amy loves me after all

    Now, Amy just called and said, "Please come back"
    Said "I'm on my way, babe, ain't even unpacked"
    "I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say
    Goodbye LA

    Now once again I'm Miami bound
    Can't wait 'til this plane touches down
    'Cause I know my Amy will be waitin'
    At that Miami gate, I can't wait

    Miami, my Amy
    What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
    Miami, oh, my Amy
    Miami, my Amy loves me after all

    Miami, my Amy loves me after all Writer/s: Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran, Royce Porter
