SQUARE BIZ
(Marie / McGrier)

Teena Marie


Hey!

Everybody get up!

Flashback, who's that
Dancin' to the latest
Suave, Debon(aire), the greatest
Oh, he sure is moving me

That's what I said
Though you didn't know yet
All of this was Kismet
Soon to be made history

So don't you have a doubt
I'm going to spell it out
I'll hip you to the "t" that is
I got the best, the most,
Baby, from coast to coast
And I don't want to boast
But I love ya square biz

I'm talkin' square biz to ya baby
Square, square biz
I'm talkin' love, that is
Square, square biz

I'm talkin' square biz to ya baby
Square, square biz
I'm talkin' love, that is
That is, that is, square biz

So shy, oh my
Have to change that real quick
Have to use a few tricks
You know, like my femme fatale

Phase two:
Me, you
Dancin' on the prowl
Gonna sing it loud
Cause my love is on the wow

So don't you have a doubt
I'm going to spell it out
I'll hip you to the "t" that is
I got the best, the most,
Baby, from coast to coast
And I don't want to boast
But I love ya square biz

I'm talkin' square biz to ya baby
Square, square biz
I'm talkin' love, that is
Square, square biz

I'm talkin' square biz to ya baby
Square, square biz
I'm talkin' love, that is
That is, that is, square biz

Oooh

Hey baby, um, what's your name, huh?
Maybe they call me Slick, Rick, baby
Yeah well, don't get too slick, now

I'm talkin' square biz
Talk to me
I'm talkin' square biz to you
I'm talkin' square biz
Talk to me
I'm talkin' square biz to you

Baby, what's happening
Entrez-vous Lady T
I've heard a boatload of other lady's raps
But they ain't got nothin' on me

I'm less than five foot one
A hundred pounds of fun
I like sophisticated funk
I live on Dom Perignon, cavier, filet mignon
And you can best believe that's bunk
Here's what I'm talkin' baby

Square biz
Square biz

I've been "Casper," "Showy," "Little Bit,"
And some they call me "Vanilla Child"
But you know that don't mean my world to me
Because baby names can't cramp my style

I love chickicken, plus collard greens
A little hot warm turned cornbread
I love you too, cat-daddy, but don't you let that go to your head

That's what I'm talkin baby
Square biz
Square biz

You know I like the spirituals and rock
Sarah Vaughan, Johann Sebastian Bach
Shakespeare, Maya Angelou

and Mikki Giovanni just to name a few
Well, I'm "Warm and Peaceful" Lady Tee,
I gots to keep my "Irons in the Fire," you see!

I got the point, the scam, the load, the deal,
What you feel.
Say what?

Flashback, who's that
(flashback)
Flashback, who's that
(flashback)
Flashback, who's that
(flashback)
Flashback, who's that
(flashback)
