Yellow (Sheila E.)

Every girl of culture's got a favorite car The kind of car that makes a girl lose her cool My daddy had a yellow Riviera Star That he used 2 let me drive 2 school All the boys would follow me after class Never let 'em take me 4 a ride I didn't want 'em thinkin' that I was fast I mean nearly every girl has got her pride Every cheerleader in the senior class Really, really hated my yellow pants Maybe it was the way they hugged my ass But I was the one the fellas asked 2 dance Zina is the sister that I have 2 raise She's younger but her chest is bigger than mine But my voice is deeper so I got it made Real live men hate girls that whine Every man wants a dame with style A saint by day and a sinner at night I maybe talk dirty 4 a little while If he buys my dinner, that's alright Most boys think they're so c-cool As far as she can see, most boys are jerks Double time talkers with half-time jewels U know that ain't the way Sheila E. works I met a little pretty with yellow hair Wanted my body and my car 2 I gave him everything cuz I didn't care Now this little yellow girl is blue Yellow's a happenin' color If U're a banana Countin' the days until U're a prune But blue's a better color If U're lookin' 4 a lover 2 show your pretty colors 2
