Lyrics Teena Marie

Teena Marie

If I Were A Bell

Early morning whispers to me

I was taken unaware

I remember sunlight creepin'

In the window over there

The day had promised true love

Smiles awaken as we rise

Our golden slumbers long gone

Only you got in my eyes

And now I'll never be the same

'Cause you made me over

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring

Tell the whole world that you are my everything

If I were a bell, baby, you would know

That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell

Baby, I would ring each day for you

Early morning it talks to me

I was taken by surprise

I remember fingers floating

As you held me hypnotized

The day had promised true love

Smiles awaken as we share

Our golden slumbers long gone

Only you and I were there

And now, Honey, I'm not the same

'Cause you made a brand new me, yes

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring

Tell the whole world that you are my everything

If I were a bell, baby, you would know

That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell, baby

I would ring from the hilltops

Ring from each and every day mountainside, yes, oh

If I were a bell

Baby, I would ring through every valley

Tell the whole world 'bout these tears of joy I cry

If I were your bell

Baby, I would ring each day for you

And no one

Could ever tell me what to think, to feel, to say or do

Listen, sugar

I'm gonna sing about you one more time

If I were a bell,

If I were a bell baby, I would ring... Baby, I

Tell the whole world that you are my everything

If I were a bell,

If I were a bell baby, you would know

Baby, only you would know

That you are my only lover and it's wonderful

If I were a bell

Baby, I would ring each day for you...

Just for you

I guess that's not a mature thing for me to say, baby

I'm just gonna let the bells talk for me

As the flicker turns to flame and passion rises hot

I have no choice but to carry the choice, but to carry a torch

Come here, Honey

Let me make it all right

I'm gonna ring for you, baby

You know the part, baby

And it's from the heart,

It's from the heart

It's from my soul,

From my soul

I ring for you

I ring for you, oh

Just for you,

Just for you,

Just for you, just

Oh, baby, I still do

Tell the world I'm ringin' for my baby, I'm ringin' for you
