Teena Marie - 14k - lyrics

Well I've been running with the night
Trying to find the treasure and it's just beyond the light
People
Go with the flow
How many beats per measure will determine where we go
We don't need no Mercedes
We don't need no Cadillac
We don't need no harley baby
To put us on the right track
[Chorus:]
Though I know my world may change
It's all in fun and games
And I know adventure is just the way to live
I've got to let the gypsy dance
Forget about the past
One answer to the question asked
What's at the end of the rainbow?
At the end of every rainbow there's a pot of that 14 k
Golden lovely shine for me today
Everybody get up
It's beautiful today
[Chorus]
Well I've been talking to the moon
Conversation
Kismet but it always ends too soon
Tripping
Perhaps by choice
I like to feel the magic
Can't you hear it in my voice
We don't need no steam roller
We don't even need a jet
We don't need no rapid transit
To show us where it's at
[Chorus x4]
Stay golden shine for me today
We're going on a treasure hunt
Care to come along?
Diamonds, emeralds, rubies and a list of jewels this long
It could be so adventurous
Listen what I say
14 k-14 k-14 k-14 k
Golden shining nuggets
Shine for you and me baby
Come and take my hand
What you say-
14 k

Teena Marie - 365 - lyrics

I've got a head rush, hush
You're heaven's dial, a crush
I prayed for you forever
And he sent you last November-Finally
You better hold tight flight
Two shadows, one at night
Each instant lasting so long
The spirit in this very song-Reminding me
That life has taught me lessons
Like don't dare to question fate
For God will do the gifting
All we've got to do is wait
So if anybody asks you if your love is alive
Tell them all to count up to 365
365
365 days a year
Three hundred and sixty-five
That's how much I love you dear
I got a love jones in my bones
I hear a saxaphone
A melody so haunting
It leaves my heart never wanting
More than you
You really fit the bill
The first day of April
And now I know that deep inside my heart
You're gonna play the biggest part in my love debut
For with you comes the passion
Like springtime I fathom grand
I cherish every blessing I get
When you kiss and hold my hand
So if anybody asks if your love is alive
Tell them all to count up to three hundred and sixty-five
365
365 days a year
Three hundred and sixty-five
That's how much I love you dear
Do you remember last November, baby
That's when I met you
When heaven sent you baby, ah
Sometimes I stop and throw my hands up in the air
You make me holler, hey
Tee Tee won't go away
It's more than just a feeling-It's destiny
I'm gonna testify about the long you're giving to me
I'm gonna break it down for you
Gonna break down
Break it down
Break it on down-I love you
If anybody asks if your love is alive
Tell them all to count up to three hundred and sixty-five
365
365 days a year
Three hundred and sixty-five
That's how much I love you dear

Teena Marie - A.P.B. - lyrics

Baby I'm not gonna let you slip through my fingers
This time I'm not gonna make the same mistake
'Cause you're the one for me, my destiny
And if you thought I never
Saw you, well I saw you when you walked into the room...
My head started spinnin', this must be a sin and
I think I'm going crazy
Then you called me sweetness, sweetness is my weakness
Automatic baby
Sending out an APB (Must be a crime)
'Cause my baby put a thing on me (I'm about to drop the dime)
Open your eyes, come a little closer to me
Must be, love twins, life's too short to waste this
Precious, ever loving moment and I can't hide it sugar
Tears of a clown on my face right now
Baby come and save me
Dancing cheek to cheek and a little bit of freakin'
Oh, you're blowing my mind
The closest thing to Heaven, let's do it all again and
Let's go slower this time
Sending out an APB (They really should arrest you)
'Cause my baby put a thing on me ('Cause nobody can contest you)
Baby, baby, baby come and save me
My head started spinnin', this must be a sin and
I think I'm going crazy
Then you called me sweetness, sweetness is my weakness
Automatic baby
Sending out an APB (Must be a crime)
'Cause my baby put a thing on me (I'm about to drop the dime)
Sending out an APB (They really should arrest you)
'Cause my baby put a thing on me
I don't think you heard me baby
I don't think you understand baby
I don't think you have any idea what you done to me baby
I still remember the night (yes) my brother introduced you to me baby
You walked into the room, all the ladies swooned
It was all about you baby
Somebody call the cops, I need the handcuffs baby,
Save me, hey
Must be a crime, I'm about to drop the dime
They really should arrest you sugar, yeah

Teena Marie - Alibi - lyrics

Photographic memories
Scanners of our love affair
Like we were the L.A. Times
The headlines read "Beware"
I don't deal in hearsay
Calculation ain't my game
But today I see you
And I hang my head in shame
Lipstick on your collar, and the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser, and you even drank my wine
Babe your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me what's this fear
Maybe she's still here
Baby you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby you're an alibi
Looking out the window
I can hear the engine roar
Cobalt Blue Pantera
Dashes through the garage door
Now you cry injustice and synthetic violins
Every night outside my door
A candle in the wind
Lipstick on your collar, and the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser, and you even drank my wine
Babe your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me what's this fear
Maybe the picture's clear
Baby you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby you're an alibi
Babe your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me what's this fear
Maybe the picture's clear
I flash back to another time zone
When you were late most most every night
I was a prisoner by my own device
And what about your distant cousin?
You know the one that lives in France
No introduction, only a Harlequin Romance
Ooo alibis
Love, lines, angles and rhymes
Alibis
You crossed your heart and hoped to die

Teena Marie - Baby I'm Your Fiend - lyrics

Yeah, Everybody got one huh
And you're mine
Baby I'm your fiend [x3]
I've been craving
For your love I've been saving
I've been paving the low road to you
Baby I'm your fiend [x3]
You got me open wide
Under my skin
Honey I can't fade you
Might as well just
Resign myself to this
I can't shake it
Got a love hang over
And it haunts me, mm
Cause it's deep in my veins
Baby I'm your fiend [x3]
(I've been craving you)
I've been craving
And I ain't misbehaving
I've been paving the low road to you
Baby I'm your fiend [x3]
(Got me open wide)
You got me open wide
Kind of woozy, mm
How's about a real shot?
Maybe Bourbon, yeah
It's right there in my bag
I done lost it, mm
I don't have to tell you
Consequently my stripes like Billie's yellow
Making love to Cole, swinging, you know?
Are you staying?
Are you just in town awhile?
That's pretty good
Yeah you know
I'm digging you for days
Hey!
I'm your fiend
Yeah you know what I mean
Baby I'm your fiend [x3]
You got me open wide
Kind of woozy
How's about a real shot
Maybe Bourbon
It's right there in my bag
I done lost it
I don't have to tell you
Consequently your stripes like Billie's yellow
Making love to Cole, swinging, you know?
Are you staying?
Are you just in town a while
That's pretty good
I'm feeling you
I'm digging you for day!
AWWWWW EZ!
I'm your fiend
Do you know what I mean?
I'm dizzy on the dance floor
Do I dig you for sure?
I need a little bit more
To help me in this cold world [x3]
[fade]

Teena Marie - Ask Your Momma - lyrics

Society
Who's to say who loves you
And on the colors of love
Are we to be schooled
Society
Our minds, bodies, and souls will meet tolerance
Society
Put an end to ignorance
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love
Does she know you got my heart in your hand
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This 14K band of gold, oh, baby
Wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Society's child
Some people think I was born with a silver sthingy in my mouth
That isn't right, that isn't right, uh, uh
I had dreams of grandeur
And I was labeled like Campbell soup
Baby, all I wanted to do
Was sing to you and love you true
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses
Tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...
Ask your momma does she remember
The bible says about equals
Or is it this different when it hits this close to your home
Ask your momma will the children suffer
Or will they hate us for our dreams, oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Society speaking
Some of my best friends are different shades
It's a shame, it's a crime
They blow your mind, time after time, baby
I had pretty visions
And I was labeled and I was robbed
Baby, all I wanted to do
Was sing to you and love you true
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses
Tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love, oh, oh
Does she know you got my heart in your hand
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This 14K band of gold, oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Hey... baby
Hey... hey...
Ask your momma can she feel it, can she feel it
Feel it in her heart
Can she feel it in her heart
Can she feel it in her heart
Ask your momma
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's such a crime
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's blowing my mind, baby
It's such a crime
It's such a crime
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
Time after time
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses
Tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love

Teena Marie - Breakfast In Bed - lyrics

I guess that you - got next to me
Honey you were so persuasive
I gave in much to easy
Why you wanna come around here
Boy looking so fine
Let's talk about first impressions
It was the lasting kind
And I must confess the evening went straight to
My head
Cause we made love all night and then had
Breakfast in bed
Breakfast in bed - heavy on the cream
Kisses over easy and a side of everything
Breakfast in bed - loves the seasoning
May I take your order please
You must have known that I was hungry for your loving
I gave you all of my love and
Then gave you some more baby
Love deep enough to swim in
I opened up my heart and told you to come on in
Come on - come on in and let's have breakfast in bed

Teena Marie - A Rose By Any Other Name - lyrics

(feat. Gerald Levert)
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can u tell a rose by any other name

Lady your body moves
Like poetry
Like a diamond in the raw
U shine 4 me
No one else can hold a candle
To u girl
Cause your everything I need
In my world
Baby
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can you tell a rose by any other name
(Take your time)
[Teena Marie:]
Oh I got a song 4 u boy
Tellin the world about the joy
In my garden
In the shade
Cause my world was spinnin round
Until u made my love come down
Never gonna let u go(no)
I'm never gonna let u go
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain(seem so plain)
Can you call a rose by any other name(any other name)
Here inside your garden it's like I feel unchanged(I've been changed)
Can you call a rose by any other name(any other name)
