Fire And Desire (feat. 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 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

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 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 coming 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 sensitivity

And since you've been gone I don't think I've ever felt this way before

Ha, 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?

Ha, 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 (Woo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

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 (You turned on) turned (You turned on) on

(You turned on my fire) my fire, baby (Ooh)

Then you showed me what a love could do (Woo, hoo)

Fire and desire (Fire and desire)

Feeling good to you (Feeling good to you)

You turned on my fire (Fire, ooh, ooh), baby (Oh, baby)

And you burn me up within your flame (You burn me, you burn me)

Fire and desire (Fire and desire)

And we're both to blame, both to blame (Ooh, ooh)

You know

I guess I think we both said a little too much today

(No, ooh, hoo, hoo)

After all, Tee, you're kinda with somebody else

I'm kinda living 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 to

(I wanna hold you tight)

Tell me "Rick" (Oh, oh) "Everything's gonna be alright"

(Everything, everything, everything is gonna be alright)

Put your arms around me

Put your arms around me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Oh, baby (Woo, ooh, ooh)

Oh, baby (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh)
