Love Bizarre Lyrics:

The moon up above it shines on upon our skin

Whispering words that scream of outrangeous sin.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams

It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine.

That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre.
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre.

A strawberry mind, a body that's built for two

A kiss on the spine, we do things we never do.
Swallow the pride and joy of the ivory tower

We'll dance on the roof, make love on a bed of flower.
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre.

The moon up above, it shines on upon our skin
. . .
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre.
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre.....

Oh Sheila

"Oh Sheila" is a 1985 single by Ready for the World. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the Hot Black Singles and the Hot Dance Club Play charts.

Ready for the World is a R&B / funk / dance band from Flint, Michigan consisting of lead vocalist/keyboardist/occasional rhythm guitarist Melvin Riley with Gordon Strozier (lead guitar), Gregory Potts (keyboards), Willie Triplett (percussion/keyboards), John Eaton (bass guitar),and Gerald Valentine (drums). Their aforementioned self-titled debut was released in 1985 and included perhaps their best-known hit "Oh Sheila," which went to number one on the R&B, Billboard Hot 100, and the Hot Dance Club Play charts that year, becoming the first ever single to hold the number one spot on all three of these charts simultaneously.

"Oh Sheila" is according to legend written about Sheila E.

3 years ago, while waiting for the spring 2007 Marc Jacobs show to start, "Oh Sheila"was played continuously on a loop. The show did not start on time, but this song put me in a real good mood. it makes me want to dance - needless to say, that was neither the right time or place.

What's good for the geese

And I think I'll start to have my own fun

You think you pulled one over on me
Well, Honey
