Sheila E

U don't have 2 send me flowers like U used 2 do
U don't have 2 buy me candy, I'll still be your fool
All I ask is 4 a little decency and class
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

U don't have 2 take me dancing, our backyard will do
We don't have 2 eat 2 fancy, hamburgers are cool
I don't care if U stay out until the break of dawn
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

Can't U understand I want a true love man?
Can't U comprehend I want a lover, not a friend?

I don't care 4 sugar-coated flattery, french kiss will suffice
Blame our sex on your run-down battery, holding U is nice
I know when U're lying baby, there's no need 2 scream
There's no need 2 shout
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

If U weren't so tired baby, we'd be on the floor
We'd be makin' love right now, ooh
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

I've been wondering what 2 wear
I love our noon rendezvous
I know U tell me U missed me
And I want 2 make love 2 U

Your words, they intoxicate me
I shiver each time that U speak
How much more can I endure, my love?
The sound of your voice makes me weak

If my bodily functions operate
This way when U just call my name
I'd hate 2 see when we are finally
Playing that nasty love game

Your words, they intoxicate me
I shiver each time that U speak
How much more can I endure, my love?
The sound of your voice makes me weak

The words are all over your face, my love
What shall U or shall I do?
U could show me some new tricks, my love
I'd love 2 be taught by U

I've been wondering what 2 wear
I love our noon rendezvous

I heard this afternoon from the neighborhood (slut, Deborah)
She said Oliver is leaving soon so he can make a scene

We're gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

Last June, Oliver threw a party 4 his girl, Louise
She got drunk and called me a bitch just cuz I kissed him

Fun, Oliver's house {x2}

Oliver's got a swimming pool, a piano in his bathroom
We took turns throwing down, we took turns throwing up

Gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

Fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

U should see his mother's room, she's got so many fine clothes
Oliver, he dressed me up and then he undressed me slowly
Oliver is so weird but he knows how 2 play guitar
I'm a sucker 4 a major chord, a ride in an open car

We're gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Fun, Oliver's house {x3}
We're gonna have fun
Fun {x27}

The Belle of St. Mark was a frail but a passionate creature
Ebony hair and eyes a deep blue-green
The Belle of St Mark wore clothes that belonged 2 his father
Even though he was only 17

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
It tears me apart whenever I hear him cry
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
And if he doesn't love me I think I'll probably die

U can tell from expressions that he makes public
That he suffers from a badly broken heart
He smiles as he feeds the afternoon pigeons
But he cries as he walks the night streets of St. Mark

The Belle of St. Mark, he don't talk 2 strangers, he's so mysterious
His erotic persuasion provokes me like no other man
The fire I have 4 him is undoubtedly serious
I need 2 make him see that he needs love 2 forget
And if anyone can help him, I can
I can help, I can help U

His Paris hair, it blows in the warm Parisian air
That blows whenever his Paris hair is there
The woman that hurt him surely must have trouble sleeping
Cuz the Belle of St. Mark is a beauty extraordinaire

Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
It tears me apart whenever I hear him cry
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
And if he doesn't love me I think I'll probably die

Ooh, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
It tears me apart whenever I hear him cry
Ooh, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with the Belle of St. Mark
And if he doesn't love me I think I'll probably die
And if he doesn't love me I think I'll probably die
And if he don't... I'll die

She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summertime
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl, she really wants
Is 2 be in love with a man

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

She saw him standing in the section marked
"If U have 2 ask, U can't afford it" lingerie
She threw him bread and said "Make me scream"
In the dark, what could he say

Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby, diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove 2 55 Secret Street
They made love and by the 7th wave
She knew she had a problem

She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is 4 ever and that's all your life
Love is heaven sent - it's glamorous

Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She's want 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much

Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much

She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summertime
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl, she really wants
Is 2 be in love with a man

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life

A B, A B C D

The moon up above, it shines down upon our skin
Whispering words that scream of outrageous sin
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams
It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine

That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre

A strawberry mind, a body that's built 4 2
A kiss on the spine, we do things we never do
Come swallow the pride and joy of the ivory tower
We'll dance on the roof, make love on a bed of flowers

The moon up above, it shines down upon our skin
(It shines down... on... our... skin)
Whispering words that scream of outrageous sin
(Whispering words that scream of... scream of sin)
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams
(We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest... wildest dreams, yeah)
It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine

That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
(A strawberry mind, a body that's built 4 2, me and U)
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
(A kiss on the spine, we do things we never do)

What we are, what we are, a love bizarre {x2}
What we are (What we are), what we are (what we are)
A love bizarre (A love bizarre)

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ah yeah!

Time 2 sleep
But I'm not sleepy yet
Close my eyes
But dreamland's not a sure bet
Don't go

Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story

Long ago there was a princess
She was so fine
She was all alone
4 her prince, he never had no time
U can hear her crying

Don't go
Stay with me
Please talk 2 me

Far away I want 2 go
And start my life all over
Instead, I'll stay
Maybe I'll find a 4-leaf clover

Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story, yeah

Goodnight

Every summer in the gardens of Florence
A peasant of female persuasion
Used 2 cry 4 Michaelangelo
2 save her from death's invitation
Some say this woman was crazy
Others say this woman was possessed
Just one look at her face
And it's evident 2 her he was the best (Oh)

Dear Michaelangelo, color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings and I'm with U in your bed
Dear Michaelangelo, save me from death's invitation
I'll make love 2 no one unless he's of your persuasion

By summer's end came many offers
All of which the peasant refused
She wanted Michaelangelo
And no other, no other man would do
No one could speak of passion and touch her
Touch her the way that he does
No one except Michaelangelo
It was him (life without love) or a life without love

A life without love, a life without love
Don't die, don't die without love

Dear Michaelangelo

Dear Mi...chael...an...ge...lo, angel

Dear Michaelangelo, color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings and I'm with U in your bed

I was all alone
When the doorbell rang
Going 4 my own
A narcissistic thang
He was dressed in red
A mask covered his eyes
Something 4 my head
He said he had a big surprise

Romance, Romance 1600
Let's dance, let's dance until we see the sun
Romance, Romance 1600
All 4 one, one 4 all, fun 4 everyone, everyone

Pretty summer night
He had a place 2 go
Everything was right (So right)
People I wanted 2 know
It was so bizarre
Everyone wore a mask
Hiding who they are
Don't bother 2 ask

Romance, Romance 1600

We were not ashamed (No shame, no shame)
We took off all our clothes
Fun is all 2 blame
Only Heaven knows
My lover dressed in red
He never used his hands
He loved me in his head (Love in his head)
He knew I'd understand

1600
Romance, Romance 1600
Romance

Romance, Romance 1600

Thank U (Thank U) (Thank U) (Danke schon)
{"Thank U" in German}

There's a nasty rumor that's goin' 'round
People think that U and, U and I are goin' down
They insist that we're more, more than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around until this movie ends

I'm gonna leave it up 2 Sister Fate, destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of U and me
Sister Fate, destiny
One day we're gonna be 2gether, wait and see, wait and see

There's an awful story that's in the news
People say that I'm, I'm in love with U
If they knew the real truth, they'd probably die
I could never do nothin' 2 live up 2 those lies

sister, huh

There's a nasty rumor that's going 'round
(There's a nasty rumor goin' 'round)
People think that U and I are going down

Sister Fate

Sister Fate, destiny
She's the only thing standin' in the way of U and me
Sister Fate, destiny {fade out}
One day we're gonna be 2gether, wait and see

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
It's so much fun
Brother cries whenever he's lonely
And he's lonely cuz he hasn't one
But that's cool cuz...

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Love, it comes so easy when the children open doors
Doesn't matter who knocks

Sister's very kind so it's never quite a problem
When it comes 2 love
Everything's so easy when we're children
One touch is 2 much
Oooh

One touch, one touch, one touch is 2 much

Why we hide our feelings when we're older
Is a movie I don't want 2 see (I don't want 2 see)
Truth is all that matters in a month of Saturdays
When U're 17 (When U're 17)

(She's got a toy box)
(Knock, knock)

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box (toy box)
Love comes so easy
She's got a toy box

One touch, one touch, one touch is 2 much

(One touch, one touch, one touch is 2 much)
Good God

{Part of chorus repeats in BG}
Tom, Tom, bring me my furs
Bring me... bring me the brown, no
Bring me the black, no
Tom, bring me my white, no
Bring me the black
Tom, bring me... I can't...
Bring me one of the furs, good God!

My toy box
Lord, y'all want some, oh, look

Toy box

Every girl of culture's got a favorite car
The kind of car that makes a girl lose her cool
My daddy had a yellow Riviera Star
That he used 2 let me drive 2 school
All the boys would follow me after class
Never let 'em take me 4 a ride
I didn't want 'em thinkin' that I was fast
I mean nearly every girl has got her pride
Every cheerleader in the senior class
Really, really hated my yellow pants
Maybe it was the way they hugged my ass
But I was the one the fellas asked 2 dance
Zina is the sister that I have 2 raise
She's younger but her chest is bigger than mine
But my voice is deeper so I got it made
Real live men hate girls that whine
Every man wants a dame with style
A saint by day and a sinner at night
I maybe talk dirty 4 a little while
If he buys my dinner, that's alright
Most boys think they're so c-cool
As far as she can see, most boys are jerks
Double time talkers with half-time jewels
U know that ain't the way Sheila E. works
I met a little pretty with yellow hair
Wanted my body and my car 2
I gave him everything cuz I didn't care
Now this little yellow girl is blue

Yellow's a happenin' color
If U're a banana
Countin' the days until U're a prune
But blue's a better color
If U're lookin' 4 a lover
2 show your pretty colors 2

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
