Teena Marie - The Ball lyrics
[Teena Marie - The Ball lyrics]
Tender I remember
How you loved to turn me on
Sweetly so completely
When you sang your sassy song
Did you have a lighthouse, yes
I'm sure indeed you did
Where you used to take me
Where the family jewels were hid
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
The ball, the ball
Sang your sassy song, sing it
The ball, take me to the ball
There was sugar sweet as candy
There was sweetness on your lips
And you sang it in a love
Song and confection surely drips
There was laughter and then after
When we could have danced all night
We got into one another and I
Know you know that's right
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
I remember how we danced, when you were mine
How we played the suite romance
And all was fine
How we always took the chance to be divine
Love was always happening
Love was happening at the
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball was fine all the time
Trying to blow my mind, baby
Take me to the ball, play it
I remember how we danced, when you were mine
How we played the suite romance
And all was fine
How we always took the chance to be divine
Love was always happening
Love was happening at the the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball
The ball was fine all the time
Trying to blow my mind, baby
Take me to the ball
When we danced to the beat
Of a different drummer, baby
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
How you loved to turn me on
Sweetly so completely
When you sang your sassy song
Did you have a lighthouse, yes
I'm sure indeed you did
Where you used to take me
Where the family jewels were hid
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
The ball, the ball
Sang your sassy song, sing it
The ball, take me to the ball
There was sugar sweet as candy
There was sweetness on your lips
And you sang it in a love
Song and confection surely drips
There was laughter and then after
When we could have danced all night
We got into one another and I
Know you know that's right
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
I remember how we danced, when you were mine
How we played the suite romance
And all was fine
How we always took the chance to be divine
Love was always happening
Love was happening at the
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball was fine all the time
Trying to blow my mind, baby
Take me to the ball, play it
I remember how we danced, when you were mine
How we played the suite romance
And all was fine
How we always took the chance to be divine
Love was always happening
Love was happening at the the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball the ball, the ball
The ball, the ball
The ball was fine all the time
Trying to blow my mind, baby
Take me to the ball
When we danced to the beat
Of a different drummer, baby
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, may I
Can I take you to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you
Can I love you after all"
Take me to the ball
