As every site I go on only mentions that Shaggy did a cover version, they don't mention a change of lyrics. However you can listen to a sample of the original here http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Story%20of%20Jamai can%20Music:%20Tougher%20Than%20Tough:19211493 49
I seem to remember that there was a "radio edit" version which probably avoided some 'risque' lyrics - I vaguely remember UK DJ Steve Wright interviewing Shaggy on this point and mentioning the "album version" that they weren't allowed to broadcast....could be that Shaggy added some ad-libs or something. Maybe that's where you are getting the idea of different lyrics.
