Gimme some time, Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing
But I'm saying that I wouldn't hurt you for the world, oh no
I'm not so blind, Baby
I need your lovin' and you know it (yes, I do, well) 'cause I'll show it, well
I don't wanna be hurt you
If you want me to I'll keep it a secret
But please let me get through your door
'Cause I guarantee that once we get started
You'll soon be begging for more
We want the whole world to know that we are one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
Let's take advantage not for granted for the good things
(We got for the good thangs)
I don't want to be hurt you
You just be kind, Baby
We've got a good thing and I know it, let's not blow it, oh
'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious
I believe you think that I haven't noticed
The look in your eyes when you smile
And my senses tell me there's something missing
So please let me stay for a little while
I want the whole world to know that we are one
We got it together, Baby, we're one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing
But all I'm saying
'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious
Gimme some time, Baby, gimme some time, Baby
I, I know, you know, I know you love me
And I thank that you thank that we should be together
So why, why, why don't you gimme some of your time
Hey, that's all I need, that's all I want
Gimme just a little hour, just some more time
Yeah, you better gimme some time
Oh, you better gimme some time
