Teena R.I.P.

Thank you for sharing your gifts

"As he asked me my name

And I said I am love

And how can you resist it"

.......................Lyrics......................

He had brunet hair with blond streaks

A different kind of fellow

Sitting on the road in New Orleans

He ate fillet gumbo, I think I ordered steak

I looked into his eyes and said

For Heaven's sake, listen to me

I got what you need

I don't know what to do anymore

I've shown him all of my love and more

And I said stay by my side

Got your ticket to ride

And he blushed at my verbal logistics

And he shied but he came

As he asked me my name

And I said I am love

And how can you resist it

Poetry in motion but it don't pay no dues

And me, I'm always playing my rhythm and blues

Sitting on the road, Bourbon Street

I got country cousins they got a steely knife

But he doesn't want to settle down

For the rest of his life

So I'll just keep it cutting

I don't know what to do anymore

I've shown him all of my love and more

And I said stay by my side

Got your ticket to ride

And he blushed at my verbal logistics

And he shied but he came

As he asked me my name

And I said I am love

And how can you resist it

Now that you've kissed it

How can you resist it

If you go

I know you're gonna miss it

How can you resist it

After all

You told me that you wished it

How can you resist it

Ivory Album Review by Alex Henderson Source allmusicguide

Ivory, Lady T's last album for a major label, was an intentionally ironic title in that she's a white singer who sounds convincingly black (much to her credit), has a largely African-American following, and has enjoyed little support from pop audiences. Unfortunately, Marie didn't enjoy much commercial success period with Ivory -- a generally decent album, certainly, but one that fell short of the overall excellence of Naked to the World and earlier offerings like Irons in the Fire (1980) and Wild and Peaceful (her 1979 debut). Marie's use of hip-hop elements comes across as forced, clichéd, and contrived on "Mr. Icecream" and "Here's Looking at You." But she has definite treasures in the infectious funk number "The Sugar Shack," the seductive "Just Us Two," and "If I Were a Bell" -- a fine example of the type of heart-on-her-sleeve, '70s soul balladry she'd long since mastered. With a folk-rock appeal not unlike Edie Brickell -- believe it or not -- "How Can You Resist It" is a major departure for her. Marie had been producing and writing her own albums since Irons in the Fire -- a claim few other female soul divas can make -- but turns to Soul II Soul founder Jazzie B. with likeable, thought not breathtaking, results on "Since Day One."
