Teena Marie (born Mary
Christine Brockert on March 5,
1956 in Santa Monica,
California) is an American
singer/songwriter/producer.
Marie, nicknamed 'Lady T', is
a protégé of the late
funk legend Rick James, and is
notable as one of the few
successful Caucasian R&B
performers (Bobby Caldwell,
Hall & Oates), currently the
reputed Queen of Blue-Eyed
Soul. She sings R&B with big,
robust vocals.

In 1984, Teena Marie released
her biggest-selling album,
'Starchild'. It yielded the
singles 'Lovergirl' and 'Out
On A Limb'. For years one of
the biggest dance floor
favorites, 'Lovergirl' became
Teena Marie's highest peaking
single to date on pop charts,
peaking at #4, while peaking
at #9 on the R&B charts. Plug
in your headphones to your
laptop and listen to Teena.
Sing along if you want. The
lyrics are below. Don't blame
me if they ask you to leave at
Starbuck's because you can't
sing. Nonetheless, You will
fall in love with her soulful
and ethereal vocal qualities
in a heartbeat.

After a 14-year sabbatical
from the national spotlight,
Teena Marie returned to her
musical career by signing with
the 'Classics' imprint of the
successful hip-hop label Cash
Money Records. She released
her comeback album, 'La Dona',
in 2004. It became a gold
success and the highest
charting album of her career,
peaking at #6 on the Billboard
200 chart, on the basis of the
Al Green-sampled 'Still In
Love' and a duet with the late
Gerald Levert.


Lyrics:
Coffee, tea, or me, baby
Touche ole
My opening line might be a bit
passe
But don't think that I don't
know
What I'm feeling for you
'Cause I got a vibe on you the
first time
I saw you (saw you)

I need your love, and I won't
bring no pain
A little birdie told me that
you feel the same
I'm for the real, and for you
I'm true blue
Let's make a deal sugar, all I
want to do
Is be your one and only lover


I just want to be your
Lovergirl
I just want to rock your world


Hook, line, and sinker baby
that's how you caught me
My second verse might be a bit
old had but...
Don't think that I don't know

What it's doing to me
'Cause I got a vibe on you the
first
time you saw through me
(through me)

I need your love, and I won't
bring no pain
A little birdie told me that
you feel the same
I'm for the real, and for you
I'm true blue
Let's make a deal sugar, all I
want to do
Is be your one and only lover


I just want to be your
Lovergirl
I just want to rock your world


Baby, let me groove you,
Let me groove into your love
I just want to be your
Lovergirl
Let me prove it to you
Baby, let me rock your world
I just want to rock your world


Coffee, tea, or me, baby
Touche ole
My opening line might be a bit
passe
But don't think that I don't
know
What I'm feeling for you
'Cause I got a vibe the first
time I saw you.

When the push comes to shove
and you need a little love
Let me put some rock into your
world
Call me up, don't be shy,
'cause my love will make you
high
I just want to be your
Lovergirl.
