teena marie - fire and desire lyrics
(feat. rick james)
[spoken: rick james]
wow. it’s really good to see you again, baby.
and i must admit you’re looking very, very, very nice these days.
i guess life must be treating you well.
oh me?
well, i’ve just been doing the same ol’ thing i’ve always been doing, you know.
i’ve got a new lady now and it’s a little different than it was when i was with you.
you know, i think back to when we met, the way i used to be and the cold way i used to act.
but more than that, i think of how you changed me with your love and sensitivity.
remember when i used to
[sung:]
love them and leave them
that’s what i used to do use and abuse them
then i laid eyes on you
it was pain before pleasure
that was my claim to fame
with every measure, baby
tasted teardrop stains, yeah
i was cold as ice, long ago baby, baby
i wasn’t very, very, very nice you know
sugar, sugar, sugar
then i kissed your lips and
you turned on my fire, baby
and you burned me up within your flame
took me a little higher
made me live again
you turned on my fire, baby
then you showed me what a love could do
fire and desire, baby
feel it comin’ through
and i thank you baby
[spoken: rick james]
oh how i thank you, baby.
you taught me so much and you showed me so much love and sensitivity,
that since you’ve been gone
i don’t think i’ve ever felt this way before.
you know, it’s funny how a man can change so quickly from a cold blooded person,
thinking he’s god’s gift to women.
remember how i used to do that?
must have been crazy then.
remember when you used to
[teena marie:]
love them and leave them (oh)
that’s what i used to do use and abuse them (whoa)
then i laid eyes on you
it was pain before pleasure (oh)
that was my claim to fame
with every measure
tasted your teardrop stains, yeah
[rick james:] you were cold as ice, long ago baby, baby…
[teena marie:] i, i wasn’t, i, i wasn’t very nice, i know
[rick james:] sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar then i kissed your lips and you
[teena marie:] you turned on
[rick james:] turned
[teena marie:] you turned on
[rick james:] on
[teena marie:] you turned on
[rick james:] my fire, baby
[teena marie:] fire…
[rick james:] then you showed me what a love can do fire and desire
[teena marie:] fire and desire
[rick james:] feelin’ good to you you turned on my fire
[teena marie:] you turned on fire
[rick james:] baby and you burned me up within your flame
[teena marie:] you burned me, you burned me
[rick james:] fire and desire.
[teena marie:] fire and desire
[rick james:] and we’re both to blame, both to blame…
