Teena Marie - If I Were A Bell Lyrics
Early morning whispers to me
I was taken unaware
I remember sunlight creepin'
In the window over there
Smiles awaken as we rise
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you got in my eyes
And now I'll never be the same
'Cause you made me over
If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell, baby, you would know
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful
If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you
Early morning it talks to me
I was taken by surprise
I remember fingers floating
As you held me hypnotized
The day had promised true love
Smiles awaken as we share
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you and I were there
And now, honey, I'm not the same
'Cause you made a brand new me, yes
If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell, baby, you would know
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful
If I were a bell, baby
I would ring from the hilltops
Ring from each and every day mountainside, yes, oh
If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring through every valley
Tell the whole world 'bout these tears of joy I cry
If I were your bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you
And no one
Could ever tell me what to think, to feel, to say or do
Listen, sugar
I'm gonna sing about you one more time
If I were a bell (If I were a bell), baby, I would ring (Baby, I)
Tell the whole world that you are my everything
If I were a bell (If I were a bell), baby, you would know (Baby, only you would know)
That you are my only lover and it's wonderful
If I were a bell
Baby, I would ring each day for you...
Just for you
I guess that's not mature thing for me to say, baby
I'm just gonna let the bells talk for me
As the flicker turns to flame and passion rises hot (Ooh...)
I have no choice but to carry the choice but to carry a torch
Come here, honey
Let me make it all right (Ooh...)
I'm gonna ring for you, baby (Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...)
You know the part (Baby)
And it's from the heart (It's from the heart)
It's from my soul (From my soul)
I ring for you (I ring for you... oh... oh...), oh
Just for you (Just for you)
(Just) Just for you (Just...)
Oh, baby, I still do
(Tell the world I'm ringin' for my baby, I'm ringin' for you)

I'm still listening 2019 RIP Lady T por vida all day everyday
Her voice gives me chills. RIP IVORY SOUL SISTER
Jesus! 3 years later and I can't sleep again listening to this
I agree Teena never got the credit she deserves this woman is singing with a Piano only! How many new Artist can do this?
Man I just got chills... I miss you Teena...
God rest the soul of this super-songbird. Ms. Teena Marie is quienticential to music and the free expression of one's own feelings and a place in this world where true love can be found and had forevermore. Have a good day guys! Enjoy the show.
Can’t believe I’ll never get to see you live again 😢. There’ll never be another like you! You will forever be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!✨
Did she bring it or what? Thank You!
Before I ever saw her face years later, I knew she could fry up some chicken. 😂. Lady T Rest in Paradise!!
She belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before any mere rapper.
She belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She wrote her own songs, was a top vocalist, and played all the damned instruments. Endless procession of black radio staples.
i would ring your neck lol
That voice. That was incredible!! TRUE talent! So was loved and for good reason. She was taken too soon. She was ONE of a kind!! God rest her soul. 🌹🌻🌼🌷😢💝💖💕
That is a Sign of a Good Singer/Artist or whatever they call themselves. The Ability to make a Bad Song Sound Good.
TILL THIS DAY, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN OR NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER WHITE WOMAN THAT CAN SING WITH THIS MUCH SOUL!!! NEVER EVER EVER!
OMFG !...what an incredible woman !
I love Teena soooooo much!! #2019
Pure Talent God definitely Blessed her Tina!!!
She is once in a lifetime... she literally brought me to tears
Voice of AN ANGEL ,BEAUTIFUL STILL TONES PRETTY AND EXQUISITE ! 🦋💎👑👑💚
Adele who??
Simply amazing and beautiful 😍❤️
Made me cry 😭
Love you TEENA
My..my..my..my....damm my!!
BET should do her story.
did anyone else feel when she threw her hand up and it really hit her, just like you were in church and that spirit touched you
Yesssss .... every time I watch this video !!!
Daaaaaaaamn!! This lady's unreal - if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...........
Her dad probably looked over his family tree to see where her soul came from.
I wonder what year this was?
One of the top 5 voices ever!!! There aren't too many women that could deliver that brilliant performance live. Perfect!!! Definitely on the Mount Rushmore of R&b female singers!!!❤❤❤
U betta sang
That PIANO PLAYER IS AMAZING!
My favorite singer of all times gets me through when I need to hear really good music rip🌹🌹🌹
If they ever did a Teena Marie biopic, the only artist that I can imagine doing her vocals justice would be KeKe Wyatt.
If I were a bell God would be my witness to bring her back.
I'm in love with this beautiful Snow bunny
Was she ever presented with a lifetime achievement award before she passed? If not she sure deserved it!! Epic voice hands down
Gosh, she really was amazing.. what a gift!!
Teena gives me goosebumps when she sings❤
The pianist did amazingly well.He deserves a lot of credit ,also.
Damn. Live?? I mean really? She sounded THAT GOOD LIVE?? That just..ain’t fair!
She does something to me with that voice. That is make me feel uplifted. Not many do that for me now.
Goddamn Teena Marie!! You about to sing me out of my house. Omg, I just love this lady's voice, energy, passion, and commitment to the music she sang. God bless her and may she rest in peace and power!
DAAAAUUUM. have me chills.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Rip Lady T, still and always will listen 2019. Loving Lady T she is sooooo talented with a special gift. No one can touch her!
Get rid of the automated junk, and show people what REAL MUSIC sounds like.People who actually went to school and Learned Music.Not how to operate a recording console.
For you Teena 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wish I could say " IM THIS OLD" she had a pure soul and all her songs made you feel. Glad I have a mother who shared her music with me. #Motherfavesinger
That girl could SING!!!!!!! Love you Lady T ❤️❤️❤️
My girl!!
One of the best voices ever seeing her in person was such a blessing 💪🏾💪🏾🥰🙌🏾
I told all the females from my past if I were a bell baby I would ring.Tell the whole world that you're my everything.That was just a come on line.lol.smh.
I'm angry she's gone
She put her whole da#n foot in that song. Ive been watching this for the last 5 years and it never gets old
Beautiful
If there were ever a song in the history of all songs, sung by a woman to a man to say how much she love, want, or needed him, this be IT!!!
A stone cold assassin, with the mike in her hand.
Incredible. Boy do I miss these days.
What can you say behind that...Angels have sung
Her voice can make Atheists/Agnostics shout *HALLELUJAH* lol
'good lord have mercy on my soul. Teena Marie!!
I love all the positive comments about miss Lady T. THAT is the real sauce. A positive legacy. Bless her heart and RIP
I bet no one in 2019 can sing like that. I put a challenge out there!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The 'reporter' was unworthy. STiff as a board. GTFO
Beck when singers could actually sing. RIP, lady.
