The Mackin’ Game

Lyrics

[Intro: Teena Marie] What's my name? Say my name (Lady to the Tee) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game What's my name? Say my name (Lady to the Tee) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game All my mackin' women throw the left to the right now (Super fly) [Verse 1: Teena Marie] Me and my girls Throwing long hair and afros to the wind We got a love jones, baby, kicking in Just for you True blue Lights in the basement Moaning, groaning, thuggish ruggish boning So smooth, silky and the youngblood's here Come here, daddy It's the pioneer group Put the needle on the record I've got things to do to you I'm faded All the pimps are down on me 'cause I want you Now [Verse 2: Medusa] Don't let the feminine gestures Make you believe I can't pimp this lecture I'm what you call a mack professor With volumes and macklapedias To touch him and work her My first word, serve I want ice down your back, baby To correct your posture 'Cause you're much too fly now To walk around with your shoulders down (What you mean?) I want you to feel secure when I'm around (Ah) That's mackin' Oh, don't sleep, I gets down, mack packin' This is how you tell See how well I taught her Ask about your foreplays to dismiss the imposters I'm not hating, just enhancing your game (Your game) Incense, candles, rose petals in the bath water, mayne (Mayne) And one important thing A lioness ain't meant to be tamed Now, baby, that's game [Verse 3: Teena Marie] Dreaming at the front door, winter's coming quick So I runs out the back door with my nickel bag Up against the wall (Up against the wall) Down the other side (Down the other side) Roller coaster ends and melts No boredom on this ride When the hunter game gets captured by the game Ain't it a shame? I'm gonna put him on the streets I'm gonna make him say my name (Everything you needs to know 'bout mackin', you gots to get from me) [Chorus: Teena Marie] What's my name? Say my name (Say my name) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game (Say my name) What's my name? Say my name (Lady to the Tee) Rewrite the mackin' game What's my name? Say my name (Say my name) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game What's my name? Say my name (Lady to the Tee) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game All my mackin' women throw the left to the right now ($45 was big money) (For platform shoes) [Interlude: Teena Marie, MC Lyte] Back in the day But I got mine Righteous time surely wasn't easy, easy (Tell 'em, Teena) [Verse 4: MC Lyte] I gotta rewrite the mackin' game, it ain't the same As it used to be back in the days Following you in the rain I've got a whole new strategy Use you up and drop you off where you have to be And, no love, don't take it as a tragedy You're still the one I give the key to my chastity Hit you up and rub you down quite nastily Have you calling my name, coming right after me You asked where did the love go Hide and seek, we can find it on the down low Watch me peak like an avalanche, didn't you know Erupt like a volcano, watch my lava flow I like it slow, ever in need to rush As you're pushing, I've got the Midas touch, huh The name is Lyte and I'm too wild to tame Ripping down like an avalanche with the mackin' game [Verse 5: Teena Marie] Ripping down like an avalanche brings down glaciers Player, flossy floss, baby, catch my vapors Lay you over to the little, that lady sings, I'm swinging Just because he wants to make love to me Doesn't mean he loves me He thinks that I don't know that he thinks I'm fine He thinks I don't know that he wants to blow my mind When the hunter gets captured by the game Ain't it a shame? (A shame) (Yeah, I got a whole new strategy) I'm gonna put him on the streets I'm gonna make him say my name [Chorus: Teena Marie, Medusa] What's my name? Say my name (What's my name?) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game (Yeah) (Say my name) What's my name? Say my name Ain't nothing but the mackin' game What's my name? Say my name (Say my name now) (Say my name) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game (Say my name now) What's my name? Say my name (I'm gonna rewrite the mackin' game) Ain't nothing but the mackin' game [Outro: Teena Marie] Somebody get De De, she's out of control (Ooh) You want me to what? Sing in your ear? That's funny Fire and Desire? Ha Yo, busta, why don't you go get me something to eat Then run by the DJ booth and tell him to play that song that I like Yeah, you know the one, by Alicia Keys Yeah Yeah, you know my name
