美國實力歌姬［蒂娜瑪莉］──流行靈魂／放克曲──［Midnight Magnet／午夜吸引力］

Late night interaction on the telephone

You called me up to tell me that you were alone

Talkin bout the powers that could set you free

I rushed right over with my newfound energy

The knock on the door seemed unfamiliar to you

Do I detect a surprise or two

You said something came up and I would have to go

I look over your shoulder, its a girl I know

No circumspect, I wont forget

No light as yet, Im so upset midnight magnet

No circumspect, I wont forget

No light as yet, Im so upset midnight magnet

You gave me kisses so unreal

(Midnight magnet)

You blew my mind, so whats the deal

(Midnight magnet)

Im talkin bout the way I feel

(Midnight magnet)

River eyes, I crossed the state line nearing down

Thinkin bout the times the magnet turned me on

I closed my eyes one instant right on junction east

I used to be the beauty, now I am the beast

The comedy of errors took me to the cliffs

The pedal to the medal, now my gears wont shift

The last thing I remember was my mamas call

I woke up three weeks later in the hospital

No circumspect, I wont forget

No light as yet, Im so upset midnight magnet

No circumspect, I wont forget

No light as yet, Im so upset midnight magnet

You gave me kisses so unreal

(Midnight magnet)

You blew my mind, so whats the deal

(Midnight magnet)

Im talkin bout the way I feel

(Midnight magnet)

How can you run from a dream living inside me?

I say I care, it isnt fair, whats it gonna be?

I wanted you to love me, love me, love me

Like I loved you, loved you, loved you, loved you

I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet

I thought you said you loved me, no

I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet

I thought you said you loved me, no

I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet

I thought you said you loved me, midnight

I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet

I thought you said you loved me, you said you loved me

I thought you said you loved me, midnight magnet

I thought you said you loved me

You gave me kisses so unreal

(Midnight magnet)

At midnight, at midnight

(Midnight magnet)

Im talkin bout the way I feel

You were the magnet and I was the steel

Call it what you wanna, but you know it was the magnet

Call it what you wanna, but you know that it was wrong

No, no, no, no

No, no, no

Midnight

１９８２年秋天,  美國白人靈魂／R&B歌姬蒂娜瑪莉（Teena Marie）與Gordy／Motown唱片公司約滿

１９８３年跳槽Epic唱片, 開始籌備下張大碟, 這回由瑪莉獨自製作。

９月, ２７歲半的蒂娜瑪莉發行在新東家首張作品──事業第五張大碟［Robbery／搶劫］（Epic出版）

這回蒂娜創作專輯全部９首歌曲, 走靈魂, 放克, R&B, 合成流行等樂風, 樂評出色。

首支［Fix It"］只拿到Billboard副榜－黑人榜＃２１　舞曲榜＃４１

第二主打［Midnight Magnet／午夜吸引力］

瑪莉將其製作成一首流行靈魂／放克曲, 在中板的放克節拍中,

蒂娜以節制與奔放的嗓音演繹

［Midnight Magnet］只拿到Billboard副榜－黑人榜＃３６

數首單曲的冷漠反應也讓大碟［Robbery］銷售不佳, 只登上Billboard專輯榜＃１１９　黑人榜＃１３　成為蒂娜出道以來的低點。
