I Got You

[Intro: Rick James with Teena Marie]
Good to be back with you, baby
Lady Tee up, slickin' it up
Fire it up, slickin' it up
I missed you, okay
I missed you, alright, I said it
Lady Tee up, slickin' it up
Fire it up, slickin' it up
Been too long, baby, too long
I got you
Don't worry about sh—
Oh
I got you, baby
I got you
Don't worry about sh—
I got you
(Baby, baby)
I got you
Don't worry about sh—
(Baby, I got you)
Come on, baby
Don't worry about it, boo, because I got you

[Verse 1: Teena Marie]
It was the age of Aquarius
At the start of Pisces
Just before the dawn
(Turnin' me on, you was the bomb
Steppin' to me, here comes the real G)
You stepped to me like a warrior
Braids all down your back
You sure could fire it up, throwin' it down
Bustin' it up, on the L7
You be my bitter and my sweetness, baby
That's for sure
My power and my weakness, honey
And there's more
I tried to get away but I could never really be free

[Chorus: Teena Marie with Rick James]
You know the way I like it, the way I need it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I want it, the way I feel it
I got you, don't worry about sh— (I got you)
You know the way I did it, the way I planned it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I take it, you understand it
Don't worry about it, boo, because I got you

[Verse 2: Rick James with Teena Marie]
It was a time for miracles
Dreams and visions seemed to come true
Whenever we wished them to
Didn't they, baby? Yeah
You were so young and so nice
And couldn't believe what a Casanova
Brown-skinned man like me was to do for you
You were my passion and my pleasure
And you were my pain
I tried to school you
And to rule you and to make you tame
I tried to teach you
But you didn't wanna play the game
With me, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus: Teena Marie & Rick James]
You know the way I like it, the way I need it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I want it, the way I feel it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I did it, the way I planned it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I work it, you understand
Don't worry about it, boo, because I got you

[Bridge: Teena Marie & Rick James, Teena Marie, Rick James]
Just call my name
I'm gonna be there for you, baby
It's you that I love, baby
(It's you that I love, baby)
I'll be right by your side
I wouldn't be me without you, baby
(I wouldn't be me)
I wouldn't be free without you, baby
(I wouldn't be free)
I wouldn't be, free
Oh, oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I wouldn't be free
I wouldn't feel the things I'm feeling, baby, no
I wouldn't have this kind of passion in my soul
I would have never been as cold as icy snow
I would have never left my home (in Buffalo)
Buffalo, no, no
You be my bitter and my sweetness, baby, that's for sure
My power and my weakness, honey, and there's more
I tried to get away but I could never really be free

[Chorus: Teena Marie with Rick James]
You know the way I like it, the way I need it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I want it, the way I feel it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I did it, the way I planned it
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I give it, you understand
Don't worry about it, boo, because I got you

[Outro: Teena Marie, Rick James, Both]
Oh baby
I got you, don't worry about sh—
You know the way I like it, baby
I got you, don't worry about sh—
(Don't worry about it, no)
