Fire And Desire

Fire And Desire (Album Version) - Rick James/Teena Marie

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 doin' the same

Ol' thing I've always been doin'

You know I've got a new lady now

And it's a little different

Then it was when I was with you

You know I think back to

When we met

The way I use 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

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 tuned on my fire baby

And you burn 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

Oh how I thank you baby

You taught me so much

And you showed me so much

And love and insensitivity

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

Thinkin' he's God gift to women

Remember how I use to do that

I must have been crazy then

Remember when you used to

Love them and leave them

Oh that's what I used to do

Use them 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

You were cold as ice

Long ago baby baby

I I wasn't I I wasn't very nice

I know woo

Sugar sugar sugar sugar

Then I kissed your lips

And you turned on

My fire

Baby

Then you showed me

What a love could do

Fire and desire

Fire and desire

Feelin' good to you

You turned on my fire baby

And you burn me up

Within your flame

You burn me you burn me

Fire and desire

Fire and desire

And were both to blame

Both to blame

You know

I guess I think we both said

A little too much today

No ooh hoo hoo

After all Tee you're kind of

With somebody else

I'm kind of livin' with somebody

Ooh ooh ooh

But please do me a favor

Just before you go

What is it baby

Just put your arms around me

And hold me like you used

I wanna hold you tight

Tell me Rick

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything everything

Everything is gonna be alright

Put your arms around me

Put your arms around me

Ooh ooh ooh

Oh baby

Woo ooh ooh

Oh baby

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh
