Jefferson Ball - Rick James

My clothes on tough satin

My horse, not the white one

I bear deeper riches

No thang, no, no

But I have been waiting

Anticipating

In hopes that my lady

I might take you to the ball

And love you

There, my lady

There, my lady

Escort you to Jefferson ball

I’ve seen you each morning

Since you were a baby

And now you’re the queen of my heart

Maybe one day I’ll know you

Maybe then I’ll show you

My plan to see castles

On Venus and Mars

We’ll make love in the stars

There, my lady

There, my lady

Escort you to Jefferson ball

May I my lady, now may I?

Now may I, my lady, now may I?

May I my lady, now may I?

Now may I, my lady, now may I?

May I my lady, now may I?

Now may I, my lady, now may I?

May I my lady, now may I?

Now may I, my lady, now may I?

If you come to the ball

And we love after all

When the dancing is through

I’ll make sure of you

There’s no need to say no

If you don’t go, I won’t go

There’ll be no ball

When you come to the ball

You know, in our livetimes, living, learning, loving each other.

There comes a time when we all must kind of like… sit down, think about the

love we give to one another.

It’s not a hard thing to give up the feeling,

whether it be white or black.

There’s no color to the feel, the love makes

anything possible.

So think love, feel love, try love, taste love, make love,

grow love, touch love, it’s yours
