Fire And Desire Lyrics - Singles - James Rick

Rick James and Teena Marie 

Wow 

Its really good to see you again, baby 

And I must admit youre looking very, very, very nice these days 

I guess life must be treating you well 

Oh, me 

Well, Ive just been doin the same ol thing Ive always been doin 

You know, Ive got a new lady now 

And its a little different then it was when I was with you 

You know, I think back to when we met 

The way I use to be and the cold way I use to act 

But more than that. I think of how you changed me with your love and sensitivity 

Remember when I used to 

Love them and leave them 

Thats 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 wasnt very, very, very nice, you know 

Sugar, sugar, sugar 

Then I kissed your lips 

And you tuned on my fire, baby 

And you burn 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 

Oh, how I thank you, baby 

You taught me so much 

And you showed mw so much and love and insensitivity 

That since youve been gone I dont think Ive ever felt this way before 

You know its funny how a man can change 

So quickly from a cold blooded person 

Thinkin hes God gift to women 

Remember how I use to do that 

I must have been crazy then 

Remember when you used to 

Love them and leave them 

Oh, thats what I used to do 

Use them 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 

You were cold as ice (Woo...hoo...hoo...hoo...), baby, baby 

(I-I wasnt, I-I wasnt very nice, I know, woo...) 

Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar 

Then I kissed your lips 

And you (You turned on) turned (You turned on) on 

(You turned on my fire) my fire, baby (Ooh...) 

Then you showed me what a love could do (Woo...hoo...) 

Fire and desire (Fire and desire) 

Feelin good to you (Feelin good to you) 

You turned on my fire (Fire, ooh...ooh...), baby (Oh, baby) 

And you burn me up within your flame (You burn me, you burn me) 

Fire and desire (Fire and desire) 

And were both to blame, both to blame (Ooh...ooh...) 

You know 

I guess I think we both said a little too much today (No, ooh...hoo...hoo...) 

After all Tee, youre kind of with somebody else 

Im kind of livin with somebody (Ooh...ooh...ooh...) 

But please do me a favor just before you go (What is it, baby) 

Just put your arms around me and hold me like you used (I wanna hold you tight) 

Tell me "Rick" (Oh...oh...) "Everything is gonna be alright" 

(Everything, everything, everything is gonna be alright) 

Put your arms around me 

Put your arms around me (Ooh...) 

(Ooh...ooh...) 

Oh, baby (Woo...ooh...ooh...) 

Oh, baby (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...) 

(Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...oh)
