"Starchild"

"Starchild"


Gazing into outer space
My telescope sent me to another planet
Since I was a child I yearned
To wear the rings around Saturn
My fingers burned

But when you hold me baby
That's the only time
I'm content, element, so sublime
Don't it make you wonder that your universal lover
Could be wearing the same smile

Ooo you are my Starchild...
Baby beam me, baby beam me up up
Drink the milky, from the Milky Way cup

Hold me tighter, touch me, then do
All of the sweet things
That star lovers do

Visions of another time
A strong pyramid, where secrets of life hid
Ancient Hieroglyphics told
Of one man touching like Midas
He turned my love to gold

And when you hold me baby and I wear your magic ring
I feel you like no one in this world I've seen
Don't it make you wonder that your universal lover
Could be wearing the same smile

Oooo you are my Starchild...
Baby beam me, baby beam me up up
Drink the milky, from the Milky Way cup

Hold me tighter, touch me then do
All of the sweet things
That Star Lovers do

Take me to your heaven
I'll lay your odds to seven
And the Stars up in the sky
I can see them in your eyes
Oooo you are my Starchild...
Starchild... Starchild...

"Stop The World"

"Stop The World"


Late last night I couldn't stop the tears from falling
Seems like I was crying all night long
Me baby gone away and left me blue
And there's not a lot that me can do
No there's not a lot that me can do

Foolish pride to think that I could just forget it
Knowing that the need would still be here
Lonely, lonely room, I hold my pillow close to me
Just an empty bed of memories
Just an empty bed of memories

Stop the world, I want to get off
It's turning, it's turning baby, much too fast
Stop the world-yeah-stop the world

So political the situations, really
Crazy like a you know what I mean
Me baby come and gone-vibration too far out of hand
Just an empty bed in my homeland
Just an empty bed in my homeland

Oh, stop the world, I want to get off
It's turning, much too fast
It's turning, much too fast, much too fast
Stop the world-yeah-stop

Stop, stop breaking my heart
Stop, stop breaking my heart
Stop, stop breaking my heart
Stop, stop breaking my heart
Stop, stop breaking my heart
Stop, stop breaking my heart
Oh stop the world

Stop the world-yeah stop
Stop the world, I want to get off
Stop the world-oh-ooo baby
Stop the world, baby, stop the world
Oh baby-you're breaking my heart baby
Stop the world-baby stop the world
Oh-oooo

"Sunny Skies"

"Sunny Skies"


Sunny Skies
It's funny you and I were both so blue
Do you feel the things I do
Sunny Skies-I still can see your eyes
When you said hello I knew all too soon you'd go
When the autumn came you went away
Was our summer love a bit too hot for you to stay
Don't make this last forever-It's raining January
Through December
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
A tear fell from my eyes and since you went away
I've been sad and blue and grey
Sunny Skies-It's really no surprise
That I'm lost alone and I wish you just come home
When the autumn leaves came tumbling down
I looked everywhere and you could not be found
Don't make it last forever-It's raining January
Through December
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
Would you take the leaves from trees
So that they can't breathe
Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you tell a secret told in trust
This I know you'd never do this I beg of you
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies

"Surrealistic Pillow"

"Surrealistic Pillow"


There's a message in my madness, Coming out to you
The only one who ever knew me
There's a maybe in my head baby, You'll be coming too
Pink clouds all in my eyes, purple mountains capsize
When I'm thinking about you
So it's not gibberish when it's you that I miss
And there's one bell that rings true
You know who you are, you know what you've been
You know that your feathers tickle-hurt my skin
You know I'm the brown sugar covered with snow
And magnetisms animal you know

Surrealistic Pillow soft and cushion and just right
Surrealistic Pillow, I guess, I held your love too tight

There's a method to my magic, coming out to you
The only one who ever knew me
If you hear me pillow-talking, you'll be comin to
Moonbeans all in my hand, sweet dreams that you began
When I'm thinkin about you
So it's not by design, when it's you on my mind
And there's no one bell that rings true
You know who you are, you know what you've been
You know that your feathrs tickle-hurt my skin
You know I'm the brown sugar covered with snow And magnetisms animal you know
Ijust want hold you tight
Make love to you all night
D it till we get it right
Lay you head down

"Sweet On You"

"Sweet On You"


My sugar doesn't know I'm sweet on you
He wouldn't understand he thinks that he's the man
You came along and my heart burst into flames
I choked up on the smoke that tightened up my stroke
I'm tired of talking to you late nights on the phone
I want to be there for you when you're all alone
I need something I can hold onto baby baby
Can you help me-
I am sweet on you
Sweeter than honey sweeter than money
Sweeon on You-baby baby you know I'm
Sweeter the lickin' the sweeter the kissin'
Just like an applestick
Sweeter than fly the sweeter we lie
The sweeter the flow the sweeter the Yo Yo -
My name is Lady Tee
My love is sticky sweet just like a sloe gin fizz
Let's call this song exactly what it T-I-is
The bottom line is that you make my nature rise
Just like a lead balloon
You know you hit my heart-BOOM!
I'm loving you like apple pie up in the sky
I've tried to play you off that's too much like a lie
It just gets larger in my head oh baby, baby
Can you handle it-you made it what it is, I'm
The sweeter the smooth the sweeter the groove
Sweet P and Honey G-I'm sweet on you
The sweeter the breakin' the sweeter the makin'
Like momma's peach cobbler-I'm sweet on you
The sweeter the rhyme the sweeter the grind
Like R&B - I'm sweet on you
The sweeter the lust the sweeter the trust
I'm honey on a stick-I'm sweet on you
The sweeter I'm knockin' the sweeter I'm clockin'
I love my chocolate-yes I'm sweet on you
The sweeter the flavor the sweeter the savor
As sweet as candy hey- sweet on you
Sweet as can be, but not sweeter than Lady T
Just like vanilla child - sweet on you
The sweeter the flow the sweeter the YoYo
My name is Lady Tee
Right now and how-
Your gonna love me right here
In the inner city
With all the madness in the streets
We might as well just rock this beat
Baby all night-up tight-out-a-sight
Flow baby flow baby flow
Flow baby flow baby flow
Flow baby flow baby flow
Flow Yo flow Yo

[Rap: Yo Yo]
It's a shame the way you got me lovin' you
Got me feeling all these feelings that I'm feeling for you
Should I tell him or should I let him keep on thinkin'
That I'm true, but deep inside I'm sweet on you
Baby I can't hide it for too long
My lovin' is too strong for you to steer me wrong
What's going on?
Late night creeping got me sneakin' for a snack
Don't hold back my little sugar smack
Teena want all of that

[Rap: Teena Marie]
Like paradise your little slice of heaven
I'm gonna' roll-em 4 U 7 come 11
Money's on the table
Yeah, I can make it happen
Sing just like a bird, then I start to rappin'
"Quote- thru the fire 2 the limit- 2 the wall
4 a chance 2 be with U I gladly risk it all"
All right down to the real nitty gritty
So pet me papa, I'll purr just like a kitty

Meow, meow- pet me papa- hey I''ll purr just like a kitty
With all the sadness in the street we might as well
Just rock this beat, baby all night, up tight, out a sight
Baby is it you - could U B the 1 2 do the do
I said baby, is it U - could U B the 1 2 do the do

"Sweet Tooth"

"Sweet Tooth"


[Verse 1:]
Please don't tempt me with your sugar pops
Look at you confection surely drops
Understated sexy with your moods
You want these and baby I want those
Nosy neighbors all up in our business
Trying to figure just how ill it is
Want you so bad I can't keep my cool
Bees got honey baby I got you

Feigning for the taste I'm gonna chase you

Feigning for the taste I'll take the bait too
(I got a sweet tooth)
Feigning for the taste I'm gonna chase you
(You give me a sweet tooth)

Sweet like honey baby ice tea
Every time that you make love to me
Bee's got honey baby I got you
Messing with you got me a sweet tooth

[Rap:]
Sugar daddy smooth
Skin like butterscotch
Comment allez-vous
Can I get a taste of you
I watch you every move
It's looking like you could be the Wonka to my factory
Take complete control of me
Some say your no good rotten to the core
That you'll only give a piece to keep me running back for more
But I'm a fan of risk
Addicted to adrenaline
So take me on a trip and break me off a kiss

[Chorus:]
So sexy on the real
They'll never know just how good it feels
Talking smack you really are the truth

[Bridge:]
Sweet like honey baby ice tea
Every time that you make love to me

Feigning for the taste I'll take the bait too

[Outro:]
Confection surely drips from your lips
I need a taste, just a little taste
Cause your sweetness is my weakness

[Chorus: x2]
(I got a sweet tooth)
Feigning for the taste I'm gonna chase you
(I got a sweet tooth)
Feigning for the taste I'll take the bait too
(I got a sweet tooth)
Feigning for the taste I'm gonna chase you
(You give me a sweet tooth)
Feigning for the taste I'll take the bait too

"The Air I Breathe"

"The Air I Breathe"


Somewhere cross the galaxies
Your hand reached out to shelter me
Now no reasons have I more to weep
For love was everything you touched
And wanting to give back as much
Silence now is golden when you sleep
You know you are my baby and deep inside your dreams
Yes I'd like to fly - never more to cry
You're the greatest joy I've ever known within my life
You're the air I breathe
You're the songs I sing
You're the rain that makes the roses grow
The earth beneath my feet
The wind and waving wheat
You're the air I breathe so now you know
That I can't live without you baby
Baby I would die without your love
Morning brings a brand new song,
Playing for you all along
Melody and lyric you must know
That somewhere cross the galaxies
Was planned a greater destiny
A time to reap and then a time to sow
You know you are my passion and deep inside of you
Yes I'd like to fly - never more to cry
You are the greatest joy I've ever known within my life
You're the air I breathe
You're the songs I sing
You're the rain that makes the roses grow
The earth beneath my feet
The wind and waving wheat
You're the air I breathe so now you know
That I can't live without you baby
Baby I would die without your love
Like autumn changes leaves to gree
Like winter calls to spring
Like roses need the rain to grow
And just like rivers flow
I will always love you
You are the very air I breathe
My life, my love, my heaven and my all
And no one could ever change w0hat God intend
I wished upon a star and here you are
And I wouldn't last a day without you
Just like autumn changes leaves to green
You're my winter, summer, fall and spring
Everything I am
The air I breathe

"The Ball"

"The Ball"


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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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 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-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 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-play it

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

"The Ballad Of Cradle Rob And Me"

"The Ballad Of Cradle Rob And Me"


Saw Cradle playin' in the schoolyard one day
Pretty young boy-I takes him home to play
Soon we was hangin'-Venice alleyway

Robbin' the cradle-No-Cradle Rob and me

Rob and me lived on the same block
He's kinny garden
I in knee socks
He goin' play doctor over by the docks

Robbin' the cradle-No-Cradle Rob and me

Cradle's still fresh in junior high
Rob ain't so fresh at fourteen
Me, I was just the last word
Ooo have you heard the heresay
I was robbin' the cradle
No, it wasn't that way

I 'member one day back in seventy-four
When Cradle's mamma said it wasn't cute no more
I was three years too old for them to ignore
She said I was robbin' the cradle
But it was Cradle Rob and me

We hung around about a year after that
'Til Rob found another girl to put his hair in plaits
And I said, "Girl, don't you worry me
And we'll have none of that"

Robbin' the cradle-no-Cradle Rob and me

Crae's semi fresh in college now
Rob ain't so fresh at nineteen
Me, well I'm still the last word
Ooo have your heard the heresay
I was robbin' the cradle-no-it wasn't that way

Robbin' the cradle

"The Long Play"

"The Long Play"


[Intro:]
Good evening
This W-H-E-V-N
My co-letters on the Love Program
Broadcasting to you from a heavenless station
I'm a make it hot, yes
It's a sexy situation
I'm dropping lyrics on you, lover
Underneath the covers
And what better way than to prologue the passion?
Baby it's the foreplay, make you mine for the asking
I'm giving 360 degrees of the Lady T smoothe
Tentalatting black ivory keys
Like JB, ain't that a groove?
Legendary Players
Got you loving me madly
As I'm walking out the door
You wanna meet my daddy
Curled up in a corner
Sucking your thumb
I'm giving you The Long Play
Turning you on
And uh

[Verse 1:]
Pillow from my lips like honey
Got you listening to me faithfully
Do my fannies just like easy money
Just like liquid cash, baby

I've been setting up shop, got you all in
Spilling like a drop top Benz and
Sexy jompy, blazin to the max
We're kissing racks like a cardiac

[Chorus:]
(Give me the long play)
Drop it on me baby, that's my song
(Give me the long play)
Put me on repeat and I go on mm mm
(Give me the long play)
Dial it in and we can go all night
(Give me the long play)
We won't stop until the morning light

[Verse 2:]
Turn the radio up and dig my flavor
It's going down like a quiet storm
I know your sweet spot and I can't even fade you anymore
You've been digging my cells like fine wine
Cruising all up and down my close line
All your treasures I'm about to explore
Mon Cherie, some wild amour

[Chorus:]
(Give me the long play)
Drop it on me baby, that's my song
(Give me the long play)
Put me on repeat and I go on
(Give me the long play)
'Cause we gon make it last forever
Don't wanna wait no more, just open up the door
And give me the long play

[Bridge:]
Darling
Just for me and my baby
'Cause it seems like a mighty long time and my love's coming down
May I introduce you to my little friend?
She's my secret weapon and
Hear me talkin baby, what I say?
I'm bout to put you on the long play
The long play, the long play

[Interlude:]
Uh daddy
(Give it to me daddy)
Things you do and I'm next to you
(On the long play)
On the long play

[Chorus:]
(Give me the long play)
'Cause we gon make it last forever
Don't wanna wait no more, just open up the door
And give me the long, give me the long, give me the long play

[Bridge:]
Darling
Just for me and my baby
'Cause it seems like a mighty long time and my love's coming down
May I introduce you to my little friend?
She's my secret weapon and
Hear me talkin baby, what I say?
I'm bout to put you on the long play
The long play, the long play

[Chorus:]
(Give me the long play)
Drop it on me baby, that's my song
(Give me the long play)
Put me on repeat and I go on
(Give me the long play)
'Cause we gon make it last forever
Don't wanna wait no more, just open up the door
And give me the long play
