"Emerald City"

"Emerald City"


It was the kinda set you read about in storybooks
Where everybody showed but no one came
And every time I looked into the most familiar face
It seemed they all had gone and changed their names
Ms. Sureal Cartier and Ms. Say-d-Michelline
Provided entertainment for the ball
And even though the sleeper has awakened
I think she never really sleeps at all
I'm going wild in Emerald City
Wild all night long
I'm going wild in Emerald City
Wild all night long
It was the kind of thing you thirsted for but never quenched
Until you happened on an Amstel Light
And even though the brew was cold it couldn't chill me out
And then somebody offered me a light
I said thank-you no Ni Nikki but you know I don't indulge
But how's about electrifying solo
He said I think I could oblige you
With my guitar even blind you
I said hey baby take a walk on the wild side
I'm going wild in Emerald City
Wild all night long
I'm going wild in Emerald City
Listening to the rhythms of my song
Ooo I'm going wild-Ooo I'm going wild
Look around you baby baby everythings so green
You got to feel it baby
Listen to the rhythms of my song
I'm going wild
I'm going crazy

"Fire And Desire"
(feat. Rick James)



[Spoken: Rick James]
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

[Sung:]
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 burned 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 comin' through
And I thank you baby

[Spoken: Rick James]
Oh how I thank you, baby.
You taught me so much and you showed me so much love and sensitivity,
That since you've been gone
I don't think I've ever felt this way before.
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?
Must have been crazy then.
Remember when you used to

[Teena Marie:]
Love them and leave them (oh)
That's what I used to do Use 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

[Rick James:] You were cold as ice, long ago Baby, baby...

[Teena Marie:] I, I wasn't, I, I wasn't very nice, I know

[Rick James:] Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar Then I kissed your lips and you

[Teena Marie:] You turned on

[Rick James:] turned

[Teena Marie:] You turned on

[Rick James:] On

[Teena Marie:] You turned on

[Rick James:] My fire, baby

[Teena Marie:] Fire...

[Rick James:] Then you showed me what a love can do Fire and Desire

[Teena Marie:] Fire and Desire

[Rick James:] Feelin' good to you You turned on my fire

[Teena Marie:] you turned on fire

[Rick James:] Baby And you burned me up within your flame

[Teena Marie:] You burned me, you burned me

[Rick James:] Fire and desire.

[Teena Marie:] Fire and Desire

[Rick James:] And we're both to blame, both to blame...

"Fix It"

"Fix It"


Love is just a one-way street
If I'm lost without you
Love is not a two-way street
If I can't be glad I've found you
Love can't hold me tight on a sleepless night
On the strength of who you are
Love can't compensate for the fool I've been
To let it go this far
Love is when you put me back together
When I can't pick up the pieces
Love is the fix it man who'll do the best he can

Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Would you do that to me, boy)
Fix it, baby (Oh, I need your lovin')
Fix it, baby (Hi... yi...)

Just another face I left unnoticed in the crowd
To get my attention a Siddartha bow
I can think and I can fast and I can wait
Baby, don't you hesitate

{I'll make your third eye feel good}
{I'm your fix it man}

Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Do it for me, boy)
Fix it, baby (Oh, I need your lovin')
Fix it, baby (Hi... yi...)

Said got your first eye into guys that feel the physical
What about your spirit, baby, is it cool
No, I didn't think so, ask me how I know
No light in your eyes aglow

{For whatever ails you}
{I'm your fix it man}

Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Would you do that for me, child)
Fix it, baby (Oh, I need your lovin')
Fix it, baby (Ho... oh...)

Just like Humpty Dumpty off the wall
I'm falling down
I am just the pieces of a fall
Don't you wanna fix it
Baby, won't you put me back together again
I'm in dire need of a fix it man

Fix it man
Put me back together again
Fix it man
Put me back together again

Fix it, fix it, fix it
Love motion in my mind
{Take two aspirins and call me in the morning}
Doctor feel so good

Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Do it for me, boy)
Fix it, baby (Ooh, I need your lovin')
Fix it, baby (Ho... oh...)

Fix it, baby (Won't you fix it, baby)
Fix it, baby (Oh, I need your lovin')
Fix it, baby (I know you can)
Fix it, baby (Be my fix it man)

Baby, on the serious side
My vibration it needs a little spirit
{I can think, I can fast, I can wait}
{Baby, let me blow your mind}

Let me blow your mind, let me blow your mind
Let me blow your mind (Blow my mind, baby)
Let me blow your mind, let me blow your mind
Let me blow your mind (Ooh... ooh... and you're blowing my mind)

Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)
Fix it, baby (Baby, won't you)

Baby, baby, baby
Fix it

Blow my mind, baby

"Harlem Blues"

"Harlem Blues"


Uptown Harlem Brown
Give me a Blues
Yeah, that's what I'm talking 'bout

Fell in love with the Harlem Blues,
Even though he was a Moulin Rouge,
Hazel eyes seems to be unfair,
Cajun moon makes me stop and stare,

Gotta reach up to touch the ground,
Blaze my box, embrace the sounds,
Tell me boy where do you dance?
Should I run or take the chance?

You're so pretty baby and I know just what to do... .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

Lost my mind on a Harlem Brown,
Savoir faire, it was a man about town,
Fine as wine when he puts on the riffs,
Sets the mood indigo with his lips,

I been down that road before,
What I say? And furthermore,
I had myself a Romeo,
And I dropped it on him nice and slow,

Met him down on Bourbon Street,
I guess you know the rest... .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

The way you move give me a Harlem Blues,
The way you light my fuse, what a girl supposed to do?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh got me all over you,
Baby it's tried and true,
Give me a Harlem Blues,

Guess who I saw today?
Casanova Brown,
Gave me the blues in my left thigh,
Get on down,

Get so weak when he kiss you,
I'm undone, I got issues,
Oh and yes did I mention,
If he played he'd be Kenton?
He's so fine, he's so mellow,
In his eyes, greens and yellows,
And when he starts and love me,
Rainy days become sunny,

You're so pretty baby and I know just what to do... .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

Do you understand my blues?

Walk that walk blues,

I don't need nobody need to hear me a Harlem, Harlem Blues

"Help Youngblood Get To The Freaky Party"

"Help Youngblood Get To The Freaky Party"


Two weeks ago last Sunday, I was on my way from church
I met a guy named Youngblood, who was totally berserk
He told me he was looking for a place to lay his head
I read him Romans 8:14 and this is what he said

Girl, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party
Down on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, let's go, I got plenty of blow, and it's more fun doing wrong
The ladies call me lover, 'cause I got the gift of gab and a few other specialties
I'd really like to make you, if you'd only let me date you
You'd belong only to me

He said I know that there's a freak deep down inside of you
Dying to get out, and ooo

He asked me to help Youngblood get to the freaky party
But I'm not gonna help Youngblood get to the freaky party

I can't begin to tell you of the sadness in my mind
Knowing there was no contentment in two eyes so blind
I told him that the joy would surely bring eternal bliss
I read Galatians Chapter 4, and he said yea check this

Girl, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party
Down on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, get live, it's a much hipper vibe
And it's more fun doing wrong
The ladies call me baby 'cause I've got a killer smile
And they love my smooth touch
Only time will tell, if there's Heaven or Hell
Or if I'm just out to lunch

He said I know that there's a freak deep down inside of you
Dying to get out, and ooo

He asked me to help Youngblood get to the freaky party
But I'm not gonna help Youngblood get to the freaky party

Gril, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, let's ride, it's a long way to slide and it's more fun doing wrong

And the ladies call you lover 'cause you got a killer smile and they love your smooth touch
But all that you have done, you can tell to the one
Who has given you so much...

"Here's Looking At You"

"Here's Looking At You"


{Who's that peepin' in my window}
Uh-uh
Oh
Oh

Yo', baby doll
I'm not tryin' to sweat you
But lately
It seems like you haven't been givin' me 100%
Now you're gonna have to tell me somethin'
Is there someone else in the picture
Or am I still the only one
Ah, yeah

I've been trying to describe the things I feel about you
What it is that's got me dreaming, all night creaming 'bout your love
Must be your kisses or maybe it's your smile
Or maybe it's the way you whisper sweet, sweet nothings

Tell me what's your secret, have you always been this way
So sexy, so sensationally sexy
Hey, I've been around the world from Casablanca to New York
But in my travels, baby, there's been none that can touch your love

Here's looking at you
Here's to everything you do to me
Here's looking, here's looking at you, baby
I raise my glass and toast your love to ecstasy, ecstasy, hey

I've been trying to pretend it's really not that heavy
Maybe I'm not really floating, sugar, Jonesing on your love
Must be my body or maybe it's my mind
Or maybe it's the way you whisper tender, so tender

Tell me what's your secret, have you always been this way
So enticing, so enchanting, so inviting
Hey, I've been around the world from Madagascar to L.A.
But in my travels, baby, there's been none that can touch your love, no

Here's looking at you
Here's to everything you do to me
Here's looking, here's looking at you, baby
I raise my glass and toast your love to ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Swee dwee a dwee dwee di ooh dwee doo sha doo dee doo da
(Everybody get up) Here's to you
Swee dwee a dwee dwee di ooh dwee doo sha doo dee doo da

Must be your body, baby, ooh-wee, hey
It must be your eyes
Must be your body, baby, ooh-wee, hey
It must be your thighs
Must be your body, baby, ooh-wee, hey
It must be your walk
Must be your body, baby, ooh-wee
Talk that sexy talk

Must be you're freakin' me all in my face
You're pumpin' it high, you're pumpin' it low
That treble, the mid range, the bottom and mo'
I tell you specific your love is terrific
I'm shakin', I'm achin, that point that I'm makin'
Is should auld acquaintance be forgotty
I'm lookin' at you, kid, your body
Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh, baby

And my sweet Jesus sent me you on Christmas day
Last night I picked up my guitar, chile I'm feelin you
