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
