"I'm On Fire"

"I'm On Fire"


Turn down the lights
Baby come close
I wanna talk to you
Oh Lover come here
In the heat of the heat
Passion can burn just as brightly
As the fireside
Or hot candle wax
Or the summer sunshine on your back

I had my eyes wide open from the start
I knew you'd be the only lover here in my heart
But something told me do what you feel
It's got to be real
I know that I was gonna love you, baby
But I never thought that it would be so rich
Love was deep as any ocean
And it just turns on and on

[Chorus:]
Baby, I'm on fire (fire)
Burning for you
I'm on fire (fire)
Ye-earning for you
Deep inside your fire
Where flames turn blue
I'm burning hot for you baby

Ah, soft music plays
And angels don't lie
And if love is truly blind
Then lover be kind
In my dreams I have dared to take you where no one else has gone
To bed and firesides and concerts by the sea
To a place where rivers rush inside of you and me
Oh wee baby just you and me, yes

I had my eyes wide open right from the start
I know you'd be the only lover here in my heart
But something told me do what you feel
This love is real
And I knew that I was gonna love you, baby, baby, baby
But I never thought that it could be
I never thought that love could be so rich
Deep as any ocean, and it just turns on and on

[Chorus]

You got me burning, yearning
And I'm on fire by desire
You got me burning up
Don't you stop
I'm burning in your flame, say my name

I'm burning up hot
Baby I don't wanna stop
Give me every single drop
Give me all you got.
[x2]

[Chorus: fade]

"I'm Still In Love"

"I'm Still In Love"


Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh yeah [x2]

[Verse 1:]
Tell me baby how long has it been
Here you come and here I go again
I must admit you lookin rather fly
Your a sight for sore eyes (sight for sore eyes)
Situation wasn't quite that cool
Seven years ago we both were fools
But I'm real enough to let you know
That I'm never gonna let you go

[Chorus:]
I'm lovin you, I'm still lovin you baby
I'm still in love
Nobodys gonna take yo place in my life
I'm still in love
I'm lovin you, I'm still lovin you honey
I'm feelin you, what you feelin too now

[Verse 2:]

You gotta sister fiening baby please

[Chorus]

Ah c'mon baby let me stir it up

In my lovin cup

Holla let me hear ya scream
All my sister to my right if you've been there before,
Come and stir it up with me [x2]

Gonna stir it

Mix it in my lovin cup
I'm gonna mix it [x4]

"If I Were A Bell"

"If I Were A Bell"


Early morning whispers to me
I was taken unaware
I remember sunlight creepin'
In the window over there

The day had promised true love
Smiles awaken as we rise
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you got in my eyes
And now I'll never be the same
'Cause you made me over

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell, baby, you would know
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you

Early morning it talks to me
I was taken by surprise
I remember fingers floating
As you held me hypnotized

The day had promised true love
Smiles awaken as we share
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you and I were there
And now, honey, I'm not the same
'Cause you made a brand new me, yes

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell, baby, you would know
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell, baby
I would ring from the hilltops
Ring from each and every day mountainside, yes, oh

If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring through every valley
Tell the whole world 'bout these tears of joy I cry

If I were your bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you

And no one
Could ever tell me what to think, to feel, to say or do
Listen, sugar
I'm gonna sing about you one more time

If I were a bell (If I were a bell), baby, I would ring (Baby, I)
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell (If I were a bell), baby, you would know (Baby, only you would know)
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you...
Just for you

I guess that's not mature thing for me to say, baby
I'm just gonna let the bells talk for me
As the flicker turns to flame and passion rises hot (Ooh...)
I have no choice but to carry the choice but to carry a torch
Come here, honey
Let me make it all right (Ooh...)
I'm gonna ring for you, baby (Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...)
You know the part (Baby)
And it's from the heart (It's from the heart)
It's from my soul (From my soul)
I ring for you (I ring for you... oh... oh...), oh
Just for you (Just for you)
(Just) Just for you (Just...)
Oh, baby, I still do
(Tell the world I'm ringin' for my baby, I'm ringin' for you)

"Irons In The Fire"

"Irons In The Fire"


People say I've got my hands in too many things
Keeping time with paupers just as well as kings
I toss my hat up to the silver sky
And then I sigh
Look at all the blessings in my life

Here I am your Piscean holocaust
Born in Venice Harlem with some sweet and sour sauce
I close my eyes and still somehow I feel
You're here with me
And you are such a blessing in my life

Here I am, I'm just a fragment of my God
Heavenly father, hear me
Sometimes life gets so hard
With you as my desire
Spirit's gonna build me higher
I've got to keep my irons in the fire
Got to keep my irons in the fire

"It Must Be Magic"

"It Must Be Magic"


EEEEEEE...

(You are under my power... the power of love)

[Verse 1:]
You say my kisses taste like magic
(What's up)
That's got to be the classic line
There's no no kisses now that I'm in love baby
'Cause that would really blow my mind
I'd pull a rabbit out my hat
Or cross a black cat's path to find you
And darling you can best believe
There's nothing up my sleeve but love

[Chorus:]
It must be magic
(It must be magic)
Must be magic
(It must be magic)
Got me under your spell baby
Must be magic
(It must be magic)
Whoa baby must be magic
(It must be magic)

[Bridge:]
Ooh you got me tilting
Just like a pinball machine
You working my love such a magical feeling
You got me tilting just like a pinball machine
And I love it love it love it

(It must be magic baby. Cause it feels so good)
(It must be magic baby. Cause it feels so good)

[Verse 2:]
You say you know I got the potion
(What's up)
No baby don't stop don't you dare
Latin, Houdini and Merlin the magicians
To you they never could compare
I see no long, balck, flowing cape
But yet, I can't escape those two eyes
(When I look in your eyes)
And we don't need no crystal ball
Cause we have said it all but love

[Chorus:]
It must be magic
(It must be magic)
It must be magic
Got me under your spell baby
Must be magic
Whoa baby must be magic
(It must be magic)
Ooh you got me tiltingt like a pinball machine
Workin my love such a magical feeling
You got me tilting just like a pinball machine
And I love it love it love it
I can't get enough of it of it no no no no
It must be magic
(It must be magic)
Whoa baby must be magic
(It must be magic)
I'm a fortune I can tell baby
(It must be magic)
Cause it feels so good to me
(It must be magic)
Got me love, got me lovin you
It must be magic cause it feels so good to me
It must be magic cause it feels so good to me
It must be magic got me love, got me lovin you...

[Singers:]
Teena went to wonderland the blood is getting thick
Never met the king and he taught her all the tricks
She feels the heat there's magic in her feet
Now she's movin always groovin to the funky beat

Under your spell, hoo it must be magic
What is it? What is it? [x2]

It must be magic cause it feels so good to me
It must be magic got me under your spell baby
It must be magic cause it feels so good to me
It must be magic I'm a fortune I can tell baby...

"Ivory (A Tone Poem)"

"Ivory (A Tone Poem)"


How supple your lips
The kind that were meant for kissing
I remember you
Warm and brown and how your lips invited me to dine
Candles lit I still burn mine every night about a quarter past three

There is a memory that lives and breathes
And flows through my veins like a good drug
The thought of your lips slightly parted
Beckoning the kiss that I wished I could try out on myself
To see if it was good enough for you

Into the cave where lust and love become one
You beloved meet me half way
Filling my nights and days to such extent
That I still quiver involuntarily

As you snap your fingers
And I come running
I remember you
You are the artful dodger

Do you remember me
They call me Ivory

"Jammin'"

"Jammin'"


Baby, I was just a young girl
When you came on the scene 10 years ago
I thought I was hip, I could deal with the trips
No matter how fast or slow

I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips
When you kissed my lips
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

Baby, I was young, I was green
When you showed me the ropes 10 years ago
I thought I was cool, I could break all the rules
No matter how fast or slow

I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips
When you kissed my lips
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

I was a girl from the streets
Dancin' to the beat
Of a different kind of drummer
Little Ms. Know-it-all, you don't know it all

Caught up in the rhythm of sound
Living to get down
As the song became my lover
Attitude keeps your head up to the sky

Then you kissed my lips and, ooh
I lost my cool

Look at me I'm jammin'
And everything's happenin'
I'm feeling the bliss and the reason for this
Is the love in your kiss, baby
Jammin'

Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips
And my backbone slipped
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time

The square root of a positive groove
Times a happening melody equals a jam
Give some to the back

No
Ooh, baby
No
You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time

No
Ooh, baby
No
You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time

I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

"Just Us Two"

"Just Us Two"


Hey, baby
What you feel like doin'
Just me, just you
Just us two

(Just us two) Oh, baby
(Just us) Ooh-wee-, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh, ooh baby
(Just us two) Ey... hey...
(Just us)

I saw your face and love struck me just like a lightning bolt
Just like 20, 000 volts
You seemed so shy I guess I'll shoot a rocket to the moon
Can't afford to lose this groove

I got to let you know
On my knees I prayed for you to love me
Tender love warm my heart
'Cause you got to court me to spark

(Just us two) Always and forever
(Just us) 'Cause no one else could love you better
(Just us) Just me, just you
(Just us) Just us two

I haven't kissed you yet, I don't think I can handle it
Just a hopeless romantic
I hear your body talkin', ooh, sweet words of love sublime
Tell me, can you read my mind

There's not a spoken word I can say
'Cause I prayed for you night and day
Tender love warm my heart
'Cause you got to court me to spark

(Just us two) Until the 6 becomes 9
(Just us) Even if it takes 100 lifetimes
(Just us) Could never wear us down, can't tear us down
(Just us) Just us two

(Just us two) Always forever
(Just us) 'Cause no one else could love you better
(Just us) Just me, just you
(Just us) Just us, just us, just us two

Just us two always, oh... oh...
Always, always
Well, I'd kiss the ground you walk on
No one else could love you
Not like I do

Ooh, baby, ooh, I hear you talkin' too
Soft and sexy, so sublime
No one could have told me that your love would come
So hot like the summertime

Please, baby, please, you got me on my knees
Tender lover warm my heart
Just like 20, 000 volts
Your love struck like a lightening bolt
You got to court me to spark

(Just us two) Always forever
(Just us) 'Cause no one else could love you better
(Just us) Just me, just you
(Just us) Just us two

(Just us two) Until the 6 becomes 9
(Just us) Even if it takes 100 lifetimes
(Just us) Could never wear us down, can't tear us down
(Just us) Just us, just us, just us two

Just us two
Kiss the ground you walk on
Ooh, whoa
Just us

Every time you touch me when you mix the wind with rain
It gets my rhythm goin' and my fire turns to flame, ooh
Every time you touch me I go insane

(Just us two) Always forever
(Just us) 'Cause no one else could love you better
(Just us) Just me, just you
(Just us) Just us, just us, just us two

(Just us two) Until the 6 becomes 9
(Just us) Even if it takes 100 lifetimes
(Just us) Could never wear us down, can't tear us down
(Just us) Just us, just us, just us two

There's a fine line between sensuality and the spirit
And you and I will find a way
To bring those two things together
Magically
Harmonizing, everlasting love
Until the 6 becomes 9, I'll be loving you

"Latin Lullaby"

"Latin Lullaby"


Give me a kiss and I'll savor this night
Just as the wind breathes it's breath to my life
You have awakened a part of my soul
A pleasantry
Here in my dreams

And so I am lost in the shadows on the wall
And this Latin Lullaby is all I have to remind me...
Oh so many stars
But no not half as bright as you
And a warm mandolin wind
Plays next of kin
Like a lover
Like a Latin Lullaby

Come to my bed like a thief in the night
Steal me away take your breath from my life
Leave my alone you can come back to me-another time
And I'll surrender
Just like the passion that flows through my veins
More like the river and with your love came nector and honey
The sweetest of thing
Your laughter brings me to my knees

And so I am lost in the shadow of your smile
And this Latin Lullaby is all I have
To remember
How we danced that night
Under a warm calypso breeze
And you played me like the strings on your guitar
So tenderly
Like a Latin Lullaby

No one else can see inside my soul-makes me whole
No one else can touch my heart the way you do
There in your eyes I have danced a thousand times
Lost inside the sweetest melody-that is you

There in your eyes I have loved you a thousand times
Lost inside the sweetest melody

Oh so many stars
But no not half as bright as you
And a warm mandolin wind
Plays next of kin
Like a lover
And so I am lost in the shadow of your smile
And this Latin Lullaby is all I have to remember
