1.Fix It
Lyricist:Teena Marie
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
(Do it for me, boy)
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, wont 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
(Oh, 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
2.Casanova Brown
Lyricist:Teena Marie
My baby's fine, he always keeps me guessing
But never keeps me guessing about his love
He's had more girls than Howard Hughes had money
And you may think it funny when I say he loves me only
But who are you to say what he does when I'm not around
Just because I fell in love with Casanova Brown
Act 2, scene 5 is my command performance
My name is Clairvoyance and it's all too dear
I was the one who said tune in tomorrow
I love to do bone marrow even when I am sleeping
Who are you to say what I did when you weren't around
Just because I fell in love with you Casanova Brown
Standing room only, the concerts so loud
Everyone's there for the party, the hush turns to a shout
Everyone's got a piece of the pie of you and I
But nobody knows when the lights go down
That the tears fall harder than the whole dam crowd
Throw it down my love, is just about all I can do
Wasn't I the one who said, 'I'll have my cake and eat it too'?
Just couldn't wait any longer, you pushed till I was through
I love you so, it hurt me but I had to let, let you go
Did you hear me crying, baby? It sounded little bit like this
You didn't have to make me cry
Tell me did I ask you why
It's over, over, it's over, it's over, it's over, over
Over before the love turns to hate
Let it end and let's still be friends
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
3.Shadow Boxing
Lyricist:Teena Marie
Loving, fresh as the morning dew
Sunrise talks just to you
Nocturnal night one last adieu
I'm coming, I'm going
I'm swimming, I'm flowing
I'm right here beside you babe
Passion was not the answer
Was not the question
Yet it was all of this and more
Your river and heart light
The ebb in the tide at night
The do, in the do me babe
I'm dreaming of the one I love
I fall into a slumber deep
In eyes as black as ebony
And if there ever was a spark
It's when we're shadow boxing in the dark
(I love you, shadow boxing baby, in the dark)
Do I have to break it down for you?
(I need to break it down babe)
Straight from my heart
(Straight from my heart)
My love is found baby
Ooh, baby
Loving, warm as a zephyr breeze
Soft when you're touching me baby
Rhythm inside ooh, if you please
I'm coming, I'm going
I'm swimming, I'm flowing
I'm right here beside you babe
I'm dreaming of the one I love
I fall into a slumber deep
In eyes as black as ebony
And if there ever was a spark
It's when we're shadow boxing in the dark
(I love you, shadow boxing baby, in the dark)
Do I have to break it down for you?
(I need to break it down babe)
Straight from my heart
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Here I am baby
Hush my drunken heart again
Savoring every moment of your love
Wanting so much what's inside of you
Needing your touch baby, oh
What more can I do?
Do I have to break it down?
I love you, shadow boxing baby, in the dark
I need to break it down baby
Straight from my heart
Do me, do me
I love you, I love you
Shadow boxing baby, in the dark
I need to break it down baby
Straight from my heart
Do me, do me
I love you, I love you
Shadow boxing baby, in the dark
I need to break it down baby
Straight from my heart
Do me, do me
Do I have to break it down?
Oh, baby
Do I have to break it down, baby?
I want you, I want you, I want you
Baby, for my love
I need you, I need you, I need you
Baby, spare some love
Let's do it again
I want you, I want you, I want you
Baby, for my love
I need you, I need you, I need you
Baby, for my love
Do me, do me
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, baby
4.Midnight Magnet
Lyricist:Alicia P Gladden, Teena Marie
Late night interaction on the telephone
You called me up to tell me that you were alone
Talkin' 'bout the powers that could set you free
I rushed right over with my newfound energy
The knock on the door seemed unfamiliar to you
Do I detect a surprise or two
You said something came up and I would have to go
I look over your shoulder, it's a girl I know
No circumspect, I won't forget
No light as yet, I'm so upset midnight magnet
No circumspect, I won't forget
No light as yet, I'm so upset midnight magnet
(Midnight magnet)
You gave me kisses so unreal
(Midnight magnet)
You blew my mind, so what's the deal
(Midnight magnet)
I'm talkin' 'bout the way I feel
(Midnight magnet)
River eyes, I crossed the state line nearing down
Thinkin' 'bout the times the magnet turned me on
I closed my eyes one instant right on junction east
I used to be the beauty, now I am the beast
The comedy of errors took me to the cliffs
The pedal to the medal, now my gears won't shift
The last thing I remember was my mama's call
I woke up three weeks later in the hospital
No circumspect, I won't forget
No light as yet, I'm so upset midnight magnet
No circumspect, I won't forget
No light as yet, I'm so upset midnight magnet
(Midnight magnet)
You gave me kisses so unreal
(Midnight magnet)
You blew my mind, so what's the deal
(Midnight magnet)
I'm talkin' 'bout the way I feel
(Midnight magnet)
How can you run from a dream living inside me?
I say I care, it isn't fair, what's it gonna be?
I wanted you to love me, love me, love me
Like I loved you, loved you, loved you, loved you
I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet
I thought you said you loved me, no
I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet
I thought you said you loved me, no
I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet
I thought you said you loved me, midnight
I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet
I thought you said you loved me, you said you loved me
I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet
I thought you said you loved me
(Midnight magnet)
You gave me kisses so unreal
(Midnight magnet)
At midnight, at midnight
(Midnight magnet)
I'm talkin' 'bout the way I feel
You were the magnet and I was the steel
Call it what you wanna, but you know it was the magnet
Call it what you wanna, but you know that it was wrong
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Midnight
Midnight magnet
Midnight
Midnight magnet
5.Stop the World
Lyricist:Teena Marie
Late last night I couldn't stop the tears from falling
Seems like I was crying all night long
My 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, ooh
Just an empty bed of memories, ooh
Stop the world, I want to get off
It's turning, oh, much too fast
It's turning, it's turning baby, much too fast
Stop the world, yeah, stop the world
So political the situations, really
Crazy like you know what I mean
My baby, come and gone, vibration too far out of hand
Just an empty bed in my homeland, ooh
Just an empty bed in my homeland
Oh, stop the world, I want to get off
It's turning, oh, 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, ooh, ooh, baby
Stop the world, baby, stop the world
Ooh, baby, you're breaking my heart, baby
Stop the world, baby stop the world
6.Dear Lover
Lyricist:Teena Marie
If I could paint a picture
Of the love I have inside
It would paint all of you and all of me
Without no thought of pride
Then maybe you would know
Exactly all the things I feel
Not just a maybe
But baby, I'm for real
'Cause I've been wishin' on the stars and hopin'
Just as it shoots across the sky
Searchin' for the so called answers
That we're supposed to find in time
Holding you close, not letting go
Baby, I've got to let you know
Dear lover, I hope this letter finds you
Dear lover and that it comes in time to say no
C'est la vie, baby, dear lover, lover listen to me
If I could write your name out
Forever in the hall of fame
It would be history, no mystery
Not at all in vain
I'd quote a poet on a verse
That I read when I was small
And write your name out
Across the sky in letter ten feet tall
'Cause I've been wishing on the rings of Saturn
Calling on Jupiter and Mars
Praying on ten zillion light years
To bring you closer to my heart
Holding you close, not letting go
Baby, I've got to let you know
Dear lover, I hope this letter finds you
Dear lover and that it comes in time to say no
C'est la vie, baby, listen to me, darlin'
Baby, every word that I say, baby, I'll give you my love, ooh
Baby, if you say you love me, I'll be right by your side
Dare anyone to try to take you from me all my life
Straight from my heart, dear lover
Straight from my heart, dear lover
Straight from my heart, dear lover
Dear lover, dear lover
Straight, straight, straight from my heart, dear lover
7.Robbery
Lyricist:Teena Marie
Such a baby
He's out to get me
I'm standing on the corner of the rhythm and blues
A Valentino smile gave me my first clue
Tell me girl, I wonder, can you spare me some time
He said, 'I mean more than just your nine to five'
Love at first sight I thought so
Or maybe it was the clock
That led me to his passion
It was not 'pillow talk'
When he taught me to spell disaster
I hollered, 'Someone save me'
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B., a love thievery
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B., a love thievery
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me
He was Poitier and Gable all rolled into one man
A Marlon Brando voice, played me to his hand
Sweet words not just saccharin but the pure sugarcane
Confection surely drips when he speaks my name
Love at first sight I thought so
Or maybe it was the clock
That led me to his passion
It was not 'pillow talk'
When he taught me to spell disaster
I hollered, 'Someone save me'
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B., a love thievery
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B., a love thievery
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Someone save me
He's gonna get me
Robbery, A.P.B.
Robbery, A.P.B.
Save me
Robbery, A.P.B.
Robbery, A.P.B.
Please, somebody please, there's been a robbery
He's got my heart and love baby, baby
Somebody please, there's been a robbery
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B.
Somebody please, please
Somebody please, please
Save me
8.Ask Your Momma
Lyricist:Teena Marie
Society
Who's to say who loves who
And on the colors of love, are we to be schooled?
Society
Our minds, bodies, and souls will meet tolerance
Society
Put an end to ignorance
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love
Does she know you got my heart in your hand
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This 14k band of gold, oh, baby
Wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Society's child
Some people think I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
That isn't right, that isn't right, uh, uh
I had dreams of grandeur
And I was labeled like Campbell soup
Baby, all I wanted to do was sing to you and love you true
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
Ask your momma does she remember
The bible says about equals, whoa
Or is it this different when it hits this close to your home
Ask your momma will the children suffer
Or will they hate us for our dreams, oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Society speaking, some of my best friends are different shades
It's a shame, it's a crime
They blow your mind, time after time, baby
I had pretty visions and I was labeled and I was robbed
Baby, all I wanted to do
Was sing to you and love you true
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love, oh, oh
Does she know you got my heart in your hand
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This 14k band of gold, oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
Hey baby
Hey, hey
Ask your momma can she feel it, can she feel it
Feel it in her heart
Can she feel it in her heart
Can she feel it in her heart
Ask your momma
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's such a crime
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's blowing my mind, baby
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
Time after time
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love
Ask your momma can she feel it
Does she know about my love
9.Playboy
Lyricist:Teena Marie
Did he catch my eye?
Well, is the sun up in the sky?
And ain't I a woman, say yes, I am
He made me shake it, he made me break it
When I didn't wanna break it
He's a playboy
Pinstripe suits and a rap that wouldn't quit
Carte Blanche attitude, say baby, this is it
Too raw, come to Z Casbah
And he isn't even French
He's just a playboy

And ain't he a clockin',say yes he is
He made me shake it, he made me break it
When I didn't want to break it
He's a playboy
Raw silk shirts and a New York leather look
Oh and did I mention that he wrote the book
Too cold or was it too bold
When he talked about his
Etchings, he's a playboy
So smooth, you know the moves
