美國白人靈魂／R&B歌姬［蒂娜瑪莉］──Smooth靈魂／R&B抒情曲──［Ooo La La La／嗚啦啦啦］

Every time you come around, I feel my world starts turning topsy-turvy
And I just cant fight the spin
Baby, wont you listen to this love whose hearts been missing?
And dont hurt me cause Im falling your way again

Am I weak?
Well, sometimes I just can hardly speak
That I have to pinch myself to be sure
That this love is more than I can endure
Sweet thing, youve got me singing

Ooo la-la-la, its the way that you feel when you know its real
Ooo la-la-la, its the warm thats inside when youre satisfied
Ooo la-la-la, its a dream that lasts forever
Ooo la-la-la, lets stay together, oh

I can see it there, that look upon your face is saying loves in making
Boy, I know whats on your mind
Love is for the lasting, and its yours
Just for the asking, for the taking
Cause Im falling your way this time

Do I thrill?
Well, sometimes I get subliminal chills
That I have to pinch myself to be sure
That this love is more than I can endure
Sweet thing, youve got me singing

Ooo la-la-la, its the take to the sky on a natural high
Ooo la-la-la, its the Heaven thats sent when your hearts content
Ooo la-la-la, its a dream that lasts forever
Ooo la-la-la, lets stay together

Ooo la-la-la, dont ever go
Cause I love you so, I love you so, baby
Ooo la-la-la, dont ever go
Cause Ill surely die if you ever say goodbye, my baby

You got me falling
Falling for you, falling with you
Falling to you, falling after you, falling, ooh
Sweet thing, you got me singing

Ooo la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sweet thing, whoa, you got me singing
Ooo la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sweet thing, oh, you got me singing
Ooo la-la-la, la-la-la

Its the way that you feel when you know it is real
Ooo la-la-la, its the warm thats inside when youre satisfied
Ooo la-la-la, its a dream that lasts forever
Ooo la-la-la, lets stay together

Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, sweet
Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, ooo
Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, sweet thing (ooo la-la-la)
Ooo

You know, everybody
Sometimes you should just stop
And take some time out to tell the one you love
Just how much they mean to you
Because you see, sometimes the needs of the one
Outweigh the needs of the many
And if you understand what Im talking about

Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah"
Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah"
Oh, Im giving it up to you

I said Im falling (ooo la-la-la)
I said Im falling (ooo la-la-la)

１９８８年３月，３２歲的美國白人靈魂／R&B歌姬蒂娜瑪莉（Teena Marie）推出事業第八張大碟［Naked to the World／對世界坦白］（Epic出版）

由瑪莉獨自製作。

在她之前嘗試性的專輯［Emerald City］遭遇評論界和商業上的雙重打擊後，這張大碟回歸她靈魂/放克的根基。

首支主打是［Ooo La La La／嗚啦啦啦］，由蒂娜＋Allen McGrier創作，並製作成一首Smooth靈魂／R&B抒情曲，

在舒緩搖曳的節拍中，瑪莉唱腔低迴昂揚，變化自如，氛圍浪漫迷人．

［Ooo La La La］拿到美國告示牌單曲榜＃８５，

但登上副榜──黑人單曲榜登上冠軍──蒂娜事業唯一一首．

英國單曲榜＃７４．

大碟［Naked to the World／對世界坦白］登上Billboard專輯榜＃６５，黑人榜＃１５（1988年榜#50）.
