Rick James

Rick James (born James Ambrose Johnson, Jr.; February 1, 1948 – August 6, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer, best known for being the major popularizer of funk music in the late 1970s and early 1980s thanks to million-selling hits such as "You and I" (1978), "Give It to Me Baby" (1981) and "Super Freak" (1981), the latter song crossing him over to pop audiences and selling over three million copies, later contributing to the success of rapper MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" (1990), which James sued to be credited for. James won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song with Hammer for the song, his only Grammy win. more »

Hello, may I speak to Rick James, please?
Listen, baby

Love me, love me tender, baby
I don't like no pain, I don't like no pain
Make me surrender, sugar
When you call my name (the name is Slick Rick)
Rock me, roll on me, baby
Baby, don't you stop, don't you never stop
Wake me, woman, shake me, baby
I want your love a lot

(Call on me)
I can feel your body burning next to my flesh
(Call on me)
Like fire (call on me), hot fire (me)

Girl, you can call me up (call me up)
(Any time you want some love)
Hey baby (hey baby), girl, you can call me up (call me up)
When you need some love and affection, ho
(Call me up)
Hey baby (hey baby) (call me up)

Squeeze me, and delight me, baby
Like you've never done (you can do it, baby)
Kiss me in those places, darling
Make me holler for more (give me more and more)
Give me so much pleasure, baby
Give me every bit you got (give me every drop)
Make me feel much better, baby
By telling me you'll never stop (say you won't stop)

(Call on me)
I can feel your body burn into my flesh
(Call on me)
Feel the fire (call on me), hot fire (me)

(Call me up)
Baby, when you want a hand to hold
When you're feeling all alone (call me up), just gotta call me up
(Call me up)
Baby, when you wanna do it all night
When you wanna make love right (call me up)
Just gotta call me up
(Call me up)
Baby, when you want a hand to hold
When you don't wanna be alone (call me up), just gotta call me up
(Call me up)
Baby, when you wanna do it all night
When you wanna get love right (call me up)
Just gotta call me up, hey

Girl, you can call me up (call me up)
(Call me when you want some serious love)
Hey baby (hey baby), girl, you can call me up
(Call me up)
(When you want a serious funk)

Hello? May I please speak to Slick Rick?
(Call me up)
I'm right here with you, baby, waiting for the serious funk
I'm not gonna play with your emotions, baby
(Call me up)
We gon' get to the serious funk
Lay in my bed, talk straight from the head
Nothing else need be said, so funk
Serious funk
Serious, funk, ho
Just dial them numbers, baby
