Teena Marie
where have you gone Teena Marie
you have left us so suddenly
in the silence of our wait and time
you went missing out of line
in the hey day that was mine
as a star you did shine
singing in a world beyond your own
you had a voice that became well known
vanilla mamma you sure did shine
that as far as tallent there was no color line
you showed black america that you had soul
and they embraced you i hope you know
but all stars they have there latter years
time catches up to our fears
our fast living excelerates the years
and where we would live longer
we lose because we did not take care
i've shed a few tears for you Teena Marie
for we all loved you so tenderly
we'll miss you at reunions
you'll always be our choice
you are a Legend now
pretty white girl with the pretty black voice
