Teena Marie - The Ball Lyrics
Tender I remember, how you loved to turn me onSweetly so completely, when you sang your sassy songDid you have a lighthouse, Yes, I'm sure indeed you didWhere you used to take me, where the family jewels were hid[Chorus:]You said, "Can I, can I, may I, can I, take you to the ball"Take me to the ballYou said, "Can I, can I, love you, can I, love you after all"Take me to the ballThe ball, the ball, sang your sassy song, sing itThe ball, take me to the ballThere was sugar sweet as candy, there was sweetness on your lipsAnd you sang it in a love song, and confection surely dripsThere was laughter and then after, when we could have danced all nightWe got into one another, and I know you know that's right[Chorus:]You said, "Can I, can I, may I, can I, take you to the ball"Take me to the ballYou said, "Can I, can I, love you, can I, love you after all"Take me to the ballI remember how we danced, when you were mineHow we played "the suite" romance and all was fineHow we always took the chance to be divineLove was always happening, love was happening at the, the ball...The ball was fine-all the time-trying to blow my mind, babyTake me to the ballWhen we danced-to the beat-of a different drummer, babyTake me to the ball-play itI remember how we danced, when you were mineHow we played "the suite" romance and all was fineHow we always took the chance to be divineLove was always happening, love was happening at the, the ball...The ball was fine-all the time-trying to blow my mind, babyTake me to the ballWhen we danced-to the beat-of a different drummer, babyTake me to the ball-play it[Chorus:]You said, "Can I, can I, may I, can I, take you to the ball"Take me to the ballYou said, "Can I, can I, love you, can I, love you after all"Take me to the ballYou said[Chorus]
