Peabo Bryson
Gimme Some Time
[Verse 1: Natalie Cole, Peabo Bryson]
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)
'Cause I'll show it, well
I don't wanna be hurt, no

[Pre-Chorus: Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson]
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

[Chorus: Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson, Peabo, Natalie]
So why don't you gimme some time, baby
Let's take advantage, not for granted of the good thing
(We've got the good thing)
I don't wanna be hurt, no

[Verse 2: Natalie Cole]
You're 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
[Chorus: Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson, Natalie]
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

[Chorus: Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson, Peabo, Natalie]
So why don't you gimme some time, baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing
But all I'm saying is I wouldn't hurt you for the world
I'm serious
Gimme some time, baby; gimme some time, baby

[Outro: Natalie Cole, Peabo Bryson, Both]
I, I know, you know, I know you love me
(Gimme some time, baby)
And I think that you think that we should be together
(Gimme what I need)
(Gimme some time, baby)
So why, why, why don't you gimme some of your time
(You got what I need)
(Gimme some time, baby)
Hey, time, time, time, that's all I need
(Gimme some time, baby)
That's all I want
(Give me just a little bit)
(Gimme some time, baby)
(Give me just a little bit)
(Gimme some time, baby)
Won't you gimme some time
(Gimme some time, baby)
You better gimme some time
(Gimme some time, baby)
Time, woo
(Gimme some time, baby)
Time, time, time, woo
(Gimme some time, baby)
Why don't you gimme some time?
