La Flamme

(Philippe Saisse, Rhoda Roberts and Chaka Khan)

(Back to me)

Lovers walk off on each other
Brothers go their separate ways
You wake up somewhere in the middle
Wonderin' why nobody stays

You are a child of wild desires
When you're innocence leaves, yeah
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight
(What, what, what, what'cha gonna do for me)

You thought her love was too good
But she's the reason for your pain
But hey I'm gonna make you happy
I'll never let you hurt again
Almost killed you with her honesty
Back when you innocently stayed
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
(Ain't, ain't, ain't nobody) Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Oh, set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

Tonight, make it happen for real
Make your fantasies happy, completely
Come stay with me, stay with me

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything tonight
J' m'appel La Flamme (§ c'est mon nom)
My nomme is Chaka Khan
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll, I'll take care of everything
