GIMME SOME TIME 
(Natalie Cole)
Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson - 1979


Gimme some time, baby
I know you’re thinkin’ that I’m playin’
But I’m sayin’
That I wouldn’t hurt you for the world, oh, no

I’m not so blind, baby
I need your love and, and you know it
‘Cause I show it (Yes, I do, well)
I don’t wanna be hurt, girl

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 beggin’ for more

We’ll 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
Of the good things (We’ve got such a good thing)
I don’t wanna be hurt, girl

You’re just a kind, baby
We’ve got a good thing and I know it
Let’s not blow it [Ooh, ooh, oh], ho
‘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 missin’
So please let me stay for awhile

I want the whole world to know
That we are one (We got it together), baby, one

So why don’t you gimme some time, baby
I know you’re thinkin’ that I’m playin’
But all I’m sayin’
Is I wouldn’t hurt you for the world, I’m serious

Gimme some time, baby
Gimme some time, baby

(Oh, I know that you)
Gimme some time, baby
(That I know that you love me)
Gimme some time, baby
(And I think that you think)
Gimme some time, baby
(That we should be together)

(So why don’t you give me some of your time)
Gimme some time, baby
(Hey, gimme some time, baby)
Gimme some time, baby
(That’s all I need, that’s all I want)

Gimme some time, baby
Gimme some time, baby
Gimme some time, baby (Why don’t you give me some time)
Gimme some time, baby

Gimme some time, baby
Gimme some time, baby
Gimme some time, baby
