Rick James & Teena Marie - Fire And Desire chords
Start Jamming...
Wow, [Db] it's [Ebm] really good to see you again baby.
[Fm] [Ab]
And I must admit, you're [Bb] looking very, [Gb] very, very nice these days.
[Ab] [Db]
I guess life must be treating you well.
[Ebm] Oh me?
Well I've just [Bbm] been doing the same [Ab] old thing I've always been doing, you know.
I've got a new lady now, [Bb] and it's [Gb] a little different than it was when I was with you.
[Eb] [Db] You know, I think back to when we met.
[Ebm] The way I used to be, and the cold way [Bbm] I used to act.
[Ab] But more than that, I think of how you changed me with [Eb] your love and [Gb] sensitivity.
Remember [Ab] when I used to
[Db]
Love them and leave them.
[Ebm]
[Gb] That's what [Bbm] I used to [Ab] do.
Use and abuse [Gb] them.
[Ab] Then I laid eyes [F] on you.
It [Db] was pain before pleasure.
[Eb]
[Bbm]
That was my claim to [Ab]
fame.
With every measure,
[Gb] baby.
Tasted [Ab] teardrop [F]
stains, [Db] yeah.
I was [Ab] cold as ice [Fm]
[Ab] long ago, [Fm] baby.
[Db] I [Ab] wasn't very, very, very nice, you know.
[Fm]
Sugar, [Db] sugar, sugar.
Then I kissed [Ab] your lips and you [Fm]
turned [Ab] on my [Db] iron.
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Eb] [Bbm] You set me up within your [Ab] flame.
[Bb] Took [Eb] me a little higher.
[Gb] Made me [Ab] live again.
You [F] turned on [Db] my fire, [Ebm] baby.
Then [Gb] you showed me [Bbm] what love could [Ab] do.
[Fm] [Bb]
Fire and [Eb] desire, baby.
[Gb]
[Ab] Feel it coming [Db] through.
And I thank you, baby.
[Ebm]
Oh, how I thank you, baby.
You [Ab]
taught me [Bb] so much and you showed me so much [Db] love and [Ab] sensitivity.
That since you've been gone, I don't think I've ever [F] felt this way before.
[Db]
You know, it's funny how a man can change so [Ebm] quickly from a cold-blooded person thinking he's God's gift to women.
Remember how I [Ab] used to do that.
[Fm] I must [Ab] have been crazy [Db] then.
[Gb]
Remember when [Ab] you [Db] used to
And leave [Ebm] him.
[Ab] That's [Bbm] what I used to do.
[Ab]
You can abuse him.
Then I laid eyes on you.
[Db] It was pain.
[Ebm]
[Gb] That [Bbm] was my plain [Ab] good thing.
With every measure.
Chased in your [Db]
teardrop stains, yeah.
You were [Ab] cold as ice long [Db] ago.
Baby, baby.
[Ab]
[Fm]
[Eb] Sugar, [Db] sugar, sugar, sugar.
Then I kissed [Ab] your lips and you
You [Db] turned on me.
[Ab] Then
[Db]
[Ebm]
[Gb] you showed [Bbm] me what I love.
[Ab]
[Bbm]
Fire and [Gb] desire.
Feeling [Ab] good to you.
You [Db] burned
[Ebm]
[Eb]
[Bbm] me up within [Ab] your flame.
You [Fm] burned me.
[Bbm]
Fire and desire.
[Ab]
And we're both to [Db] blame.
Both to blame.
[Ebm] You know, [Bbm] I guess I think we both [Ab] said a little too much today.
After all, T, [Gb] you're kind of with somebody.
[Ab] I'm kind of living with somebody.
[Db]
But please do me a favor just before you go.
[Ebm] Just put your arms around me.
[Bbm] And hold me like you used to.
[Ab]
[Fm] [Ab]
[Gb] Everything is gonna be alright.
[Ab]
Put your [F] arms around [Db] me.
Put your arms around
[Ebm]
[Ab]
[Gb]
[Db]
[Ebm]
[Eb]
