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 themThat's what I used to do Use and abuse themThen I laid eyes on youIt was pain before pleasureThat was my claim to fameWith every measure, babyTasted teardrop stains, yeahI was cold as ice, long ago baby, babyI wasn't very, very, very nice you knowSugar, sugar, sugarThen I kissed your lips andYou turned on my fire, babyAnd you burned me up within your flameTook me a little higherMade me live againYou turned on my fire, babyThen you showed me what a love could doFire and desire, babyFeel it comin' throughAnd 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 goneI 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 youIt was pain before pleasure (oh)That was my claim to fameWith every measureTasted 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...[spoken outro]
