I’m a Sucker For Your Love (Live in Long Beach, July 1981)

[Intro: Rick James]
Say one, two, three
(I'm just a)
Well, alright you freaks, give it up
(I'm just a) For Lady T (sucker)
(I'm just a) For Teena Marie (sucker)

[Chorus: Mary Jane Girls]
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love
I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love

[Verse 1: Levi Ruffin Jr. & Teena Marie]
Well, you're a fine sexy little lady
You like your candy very sweet
You're a classy little dame with sophisticated game
And you know all of the best restaurants to eat
Lady, Lady T, sing

Baby, you too are a mellow fellow
And you're as rare as vintage wine
I'll take you any place, fit into your time and space
That's why I chose to make you mine, uh-huh

[Chorus: Mary Jane Girls]
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
(I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for love, baby)
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
(I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for your love, baby)

[Interlude: Teena Marie & the Mary Jane Girls]
Shoo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-wah)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-wah-wah)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-wah-wah)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-wah
Shoo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-wah-wah)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-wah-wah)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-wah

[Verse 2: Levi Ruffin Jr. & Teena Marie]
Sometimes you get mad at me, Teena
And you don't want to see my face around
Times may get rough, but I know that there's enough
Enough freaky love when my love tumbles down, doo-doo-wah-wah

"Don't you do that, don't you do that, " that's what I used to say
When I got mad and didn't want your touch (Talk to me, baby)
But how could I resist when you start to kiss
Sucked in once again, I let you win, uh-huh

[Interlude: Teena Marie]
Well, you're a sweet sexy thing
And you make my whole heart sing
And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
I'm...woo!
What's happening, Long Beach?

[Bridge: Teena Marie & the Mary Jane Girls]
Shoo-doo-doo-doo
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Girl, I like it)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo (I like it too, baby)
Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Interlude: Teena Marie]
Put your hands together for Mister Daniel LeMelle

[Daniel LeMelle horn solo]

[Interlude: Teena Marie]
I'm a sucker for your love
For your love, for your love, shoo-doo-doo-wah
I'm a sucker for your love
For your love, for your love

I'm just a sucker for your love, for your sweetness, baby
I'm just a sucker for your love, for your sweetness, baby
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for your love
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for your love

[Interlude: Teena Marie & Levi Ruffin Jr.]
Long Beach
I said Long Beach, say "Yeah"
Say "Hell yeah"

Fellas, we gon' have a little contest this evening
I want you to do this for me
"I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for love, baby"
"I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for your love, baby"
