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

[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"
Ay fellas, I know we got more than ladies in this auditorium
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"
I can't hear your, "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"
Y'all tired, y'all real tired up in here
Ladies!
We ain't even had the contest and I think y'all already won
I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love
Oh, sing it for me
Everybody sing it, yell it, I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
Won't you sing with me right now

Wait a minute, wait wait wait...
Wait a minute, nothin'
Wait wait wait wait, ay fellas, say "Hell yeah"
Say "Hell yeah"
See Teena, we're with you tonight, baby
Now fellas, what Teena's trying to do right now is embarrass us
We got this serious bet tonight, you know what I'm sayin'?
And ladies, y'all sound real good
Ladies, don't let him make a fool of me now
But fellas, Teena been asking you to sing "I'm just a sucker for you love, sucker for your love, baby"
I want everybody, every man here this evening to sing along with the Stone City Band
Say "Hell yeah" — that's what I'm talkin' 'bout right there
Go 'head, Teena, go 'head, baby
Ladies! Fellas! Ladies! Fellas!
[Chorus: Teena Marie & Levi Ruffin Jr.]
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 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 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 love, baby

[Outro: Teena Marie & Levi Ruffin Jr.]
Ladies, y'all won, ain't no question
Hey there, Mister Levi, if it is alright with you now
I would really like to take this time to play
Go 'head and play now, Teena
Hey there, Mister Levi, if it is alright with you now
I would really like to take this time to play
Go 'head and play, Teena
Go 'head (Go 'head) Go 'head (Go 'head)
Go 'head (Go 'head) Go 'head (Go 'head)
Go 'head (Go 'head) Go 'head (Go 'head)
