The Ball - Teena Marie

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

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

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

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

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

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
