(Sylvester / Clarke) Back off baby don't lean too hard I'll come 'round when I'm ready I ain't finished my playing 'round don't want to go steady You gotta give me time Give me time give me time You gotta give me time Give me time give me time The feeling in me ain't the same as yours I'm still first-class flying You've gotta wait till I reach the ground No need to be lying chorus to think it over Don't try so hard Don't spoil your chance Don't try so hard Don't spoil your chance verse 1 chorus to think it over Give me time Give me time give me time You gotta give time Give me time give me time (repeat)
