Lyrics Teena Marie

Teena Marie

Hit Me Where I Live

On the Venus rocks

Yeah, huh

Just me, the master

And my box

Blues and sounds

Decimals high

I fly above this hood

That wears me

Venus, Harlem baby

So you could shake it

So you could shake it

I know a guy his name is Doug

He plays the bottom

Cuts the rug

I love to hug that jitterbug

He swam around in circles till

He found the inside of my web

And now no secret's left to tell

He said James

What the people say

Penny for your thoughts

She came from Velo

That's below the farm

She drive across town

And she'd teach me how to give

She be in deep places

And it hit me where I live

Hit me where I live

I tell ya somethin'

That I love my rhythm

mixed up with my blues

Hit me where I live

I'm tryin' to tell ya

That we're joined here at the hip and side

Like glue

Ooh

Chocolate sister, name is mick

So artistic with her tricks

She holds my notes

Sings all my licks

Movies, yardbird

We be fed

Collard greens and sweet cornbread

Lets hide the brooms under the bed

He said James

What the people say

Penny for your thoughts

That's Brooklyn bubblegum

Hey bring the sauce

He came from chi town

And he mixed my Shhh real good

He be in deep places

And it hit me where it should

Hit me where I live

I tell ya somethin'

That I love my rhythm

mixed up with my blues

Hit me where I live

I'm tryin' to tell ya

That we're joined here at the hip and side

Like glue

Take me to the bridge (James)

It's just over the ridge

If you don't ain't that a bitch

Cause I need to scratch this itch

Now you choked up on this crunk

I ain't never been no punk

Just like two skunks in a trunk

Gonna drive you off into some funk

Yeah

I'm sendin' this one out to chocolate city

And all its vanilla suburbs

We do be workin' music all night long

We do be workin'

We do be workin' music all night long

So you can shake it

Hit me where I live

I'll tell you su'in

That I love my rhythm

Mixed up with my blues

Hit me where I live

I'm trying to tell you

That we're joined here at the hip

and side like glue

James what the people say

Penny for your thoughts

I be from Venus that's down by the rocks

I been around the way

A legend in my hood

I been in deep places

And I know that it's all good

We do be workin' music all night long

We do be workin'

We do be workin' music all night long

So you can shake it

Yo Mick, remember that time

we went to see tower of power

You had on that three piece suit

And a sprinkler's

runnin' across your face

Girl, I loved you then

I love ya now

Big ups to you

You'll always be my boo

Flyest afro on the westside
