Teena Marie - How Can You Resist It Lyrics
He had brunet hair with blond streaks
A different kind of fellow
Sitting on the road in New Orleans
He ate fillet gumbo, I think I ordered steak
For Heaven's sake, listen to me
I got you need
I don't know what to do anymore
I've shown him all of my love and more
And I said stay by my side
Got your ticket to ride
And he blushed at my verbal logistics
And he shied but he came
And I said I am love
And how can you resist it
Poetry in motion but it don't pay no dues
And me, I'm always playing my rhythm and blues
Sitting on the road, Bourbon Street
I got country cousins they got a steely knife
But he doesn't want to settle down
For the rest of his life
So I'll just keep it cutting
I don't know what to do anymore
I've shown him all of my love and more
And I said stay by my side
Got your ticket to ride
And he blushed at my verbal logistics
And he shied but he came
As he asked me my name
And I said I am love
And how can you resist it
Now that you've kissed it
How can you resist it
If you go
I know you're gonna miss it
How can you resist it
After all
You told me that you wished it
How can you resist it

Viva Lady Tee - Long Reign Our Beloved Ivory Queen of Soul - Lady Tee - Teena Marie - Viva Lady Tee!
@ArchieGe I think Rick was very aware of her talents; that's why he gave her her wings; by teaching her all he could and encouraging her to go after Wild and Peaceful. During the making of Lady T, Rich Rudolph told her "you don't need me baby". That's because Rick made sure she had the last detail to do it on her own. Rick also taught her the business side of the industry, and most important, to won her own music. Rick wanted to make sure she was successful.
brings back memories from when I was a lil churren...love this.....RIP T
This is a different kind of song from Teena, but I love it, kinda has a folksy feel to it. Man, Teena was so versatile as an artist and musician. On top of having a great voice, She wrote pretty much all her songs, produced, played instruments,etc. She was so unbelievably talent and had never unfortunately gotten her due. I agree with others that her lyrics are like poetry. Her songwriting is so underrated. SHE is just underrated as a whole. What a talent. There will never be another.
oh man i miss this women sooo much!!!!!
THIS IS A CLASSIC BLEND OF COUNTRY AND MELLOW R&B AND SOFT ROCK. THIS IS A FANTASTIC SONG, AND A FAVORITE TEENA MARIE SONG FROM THE "IVORY" ALBUM/CD. THIS SHOULD HAVE GONE MULTI PLATINUM.
She was so soulful & her love songs got me through some tough times....
beautiful....this song got me thru honey.......
Sweet song. Another thing that people don't ACKNOWLEDGE about Teena Marie is that not only is she an GIFTED singer, she is also a ACCOMPLISHED songwriter as well. There are very few songs in her catalog that she didn't write herself, you can't even put it in percentage form. In other words: R-E-S-P-E-C-T the one and only IVORY QUEEN!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. My Dear Ex Mark Bailey, Rest In Perfect Serene Peace... - Lady T :'(
This and Latin Lullaby are two of the newer classics - so beautiful - could listen to again & again.
Simply the best
teena ...love then new songs....so much ... the more i LISTEN ..THE MORE I LOVVE.
