Текст песни Jefferson Ball - Rick James

May I my lady
Escort you to Jefferson Ball
My clothes arent of satin
My horse, not a white one no
I bear, neither riches nor fame
But i have been waiting,
Anticipating,
In hopes that my lady,
I might take you to the ball
And love you that's all
May I my lady
Escort you to Jefferson Ball
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 will show you
My fantasy castles on Venus and Mars
We'll make love in the stars
May I my lady, I want to girl
Escort you to Jefferson Ball
If you come to the ball,
And we love after all
When the dancing is through
I'll be so good to you
There's no need to say no
If you do I wont go
They'll be no ball
To put me througb
When you come to the ball
You know in our lifetimes of
Living, learning and loving each other
There comes a time when we all
Just kinda like, sit down, think
About the love we give to the one
It's not a hard thing to give up the feeling
Whether it be black, or white
There's no color to the feel
But love makes anything alright
So think love, feel love, try love
Taste love, know love, grow love
Touch love, It's your love
You're my black you're my white
You're my cold as the ice
You're my high as the sun
You're my number one
And you make me do things
And you teach me to sing
Feel in your heart I'm the only one
Baby
