Rick James - Jefferson Ball lyrics

[Verse 1] My clothes on tough satin My horse, not the white one I bear deeper riches No thang, no, no But I have been waiting Anticipating In hopes that my lady I might take you to the ball And love you [Chorus] There, my lady There, my lady Escort you to Jefferson ball [Verse 2] I've seen you each morning Since you were a baby And now you're the queen of my heart Maybe one day I'll know you Maybe then I'll show you My plan to see castles On Venus and Mars We'll make love in the stars [Chorus] There, my lady There, my lady Escort you to Jefferson ball [Bridge] May I my lady, now may I? Now may I, my lady, now may I? May I my lady, now may I? Now may I, my lady, now may I? May I my lady, now may I? Now may I, my lady, now may I? May I my lady, now may I? Now may I, my lady, now may I? [Verse 3] If you come to the ball And we love after all When the dancing is through I'll make sure of you There's no need to say no If you don't go, I won't go There'll be no ball When you come to the ball [Outro] You know, in our livetimes, living, learning, loving each other. There comes a time when we all must kind of like... sit down, think about the love we give to one another. It's not a hard thing to give up the feeling, whether it be white or black. There's no color to the feel, the love makes anything possible. So think love, feel love, try love, taste love, make love, grow love, touch love, it's yours
