Sheila E. - Pride & the Passion lyrics

rate me

In a flash, he caught her eye

He was everything she was lookin' 4

He had big cash and a Brando smile

He was pretty easy 2 adore

She tried her luck, huh, I mean she played the man

She sho'nuff thought she could turn him on

But she got (stuck) stuck when he kissed her hand

And told her that he wanted 2 take her home

Pride and the passion

Laugh all night, cry all day

If true love is old-fashioned

Should we pass or should we play?

In a flash, her life had changed (Life had changed)

Everything she feared was put on trial (Everything was put on trial)

Priorities rearranged (Rearranged)

She said she had 2 have him 4 a little while

And if he's good, he can teach her things (He can teach her things)

Things about herself that she never knew

And if he's the one, the shining armor knight

Think of all the dirty things they could do

CHORUS:

Pride and the passion

Laugh all night, cry all day

Cuz if true love is old-fashioned

Should we pass or should we play?

What's it gonna be?

The pride or the passion, passion, passion?

In a flash, she took a chance

She let him take her 2 his crib

Music played, they started 2 dance

She said she really dug his ad-lib

What went down I don't wanna say (I don't wanna say)

Destiny is yours, don't let it fool ya

And if U're wrong, expect a massive drag

If U're right, more power 2 ya

CHORUS {x2}

Pride, pride and the passion

Pride and the passion, ooh

The pride and the passion

Oh, pride and the passion
