[00:01.70]Rick James & Teena Marie
[00:02.65]
[00:03.50]Wow
[00:07.59]It's really good to see you again, baby
[00:12.00]And I must admit you're looking very, very, very nice these days
[00:19.43]I guess life must be treating you well
[00:23.81]Oh, me
[00:26.04]Well, I've just been doin' the same ol' thing I've always been doin'
[00:29.21]You know, I've got a new lady now
[00:31.58]And it's a little different then it was when I was with you
[00:36.94]You know, I think back to when we met
[00:41.10]The way I use to be and the cold way I use to act
[00:45.43]But more than that. I think of how you changed me with your love and sensitivity
[00:50.86]Remember when I used to
[00:52.82]
[00:53.59]Love them and leave them
[01:05.72]That's what I used to do
[01:10.47]Use and abuse them
[01:17.31]Then I laid eyes on you
[01:18.97]
[01:19.18]It was pain before pleasure
[01:28.68]That was my claim to fame
[01:34.14]With every measure, baby
[01:39.75]Tasted teardrop stains, yeah
[01:43.54]
[01:46.27]I was cold as ice long ago, baby, baby
[01:57.18]I wasn't very, very, very nice, you know
[02:02.73]Sugar, sugar, sugar
[02:08.25]Then I kissed your lips
[02:09.70]And you tuned on my fire, baby
[02:23.12]And you burn me up within your flame
[02:29.41]Took me a little higher
[02:33.85]Made me live again
[02:35.52]You turned on my fire, baby
[02:44.35]Then you showed me what a love could do
[02:50.91]Fire and desire, baby
[02:56.17]Feel it comin' through
[03:00.07]And I thank you, baby
[03:03.68]
[03:05.69]Oh, how I thank you, baby
[03:10.96]You taught me so much
[03:11.94]And you showed mw so much and love and insensitivity
[03:16.04]That since you've been gone I don't think I've ever felt this way before
[03:22.38]You know it's funny how a man can change
[03:24.72]So quickly from a cold blooded person
[03:27.25]Thinkin' he's God gift to women
[03:29.58]Remember how I use to do that
[03:33.57]I must have been crazy then
[03:37.34]Remember when you used to
[03:40.43]
[03:41.07]Love them and leave them
[03:51.26]Oh, that's what I used to do
[03:55.74]Use them and abuse them, whoa
[04:02.58]Then I laid eyes on you
[04:05.39]
[04:05.83]It was pain before pleasure
[04:13.58]Oh, that was my claim to fame
[04:20.39]With every measure
[04:25.62]Tasted your teardrop stains, yeah
