Bed Rest Lyrics


Baby, I wish I could hold you
Promise I'll never let go of you
Baby, you got me gone
Baby, I wish I could hold you
Promise I'll never let go of you
Baby, you got me goneI don't know why I'm still so sad and blue
And I don't know why I just can't get over you, ooh
'Cause you didn't go far, you didn't do me harm
You make sure I get all that I want
So I don't know why I'm so sad and blue
When you give me all of youYou got me on bed rest, I'm hurtin' for love
You got me on bed rest, it's like I'm givin' life up
Pillows and thoughts, not takin' no calls
And never get up, babyYou got me on bed rest, I'm hurtin' for love
I didn't get the respect that I deserve
It'll take time before I can find the will to get up
The will to get upI want the dark
Could somebody cut the lights off? Cut the lights on

Tryna get a rise on gone like the sun till the morning
And I can't lie when the day goes by
I'm missin' you, I'm so hornyBaby, I wish I could hold you
Promise I'll never let go of ya
Baby, you got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, ehI don't know why my eyes don't open till noon
And even when they do, they seem to close back at two
I don't wanna get up, I don't wanna get up, noYou got me gone, I'm so on
Every time you give me exactly what I want
So I don't know why I'm so sad and blue
When you always give me all of youYou got me on bed rest, I'm hurtin' for love
You got me on bed rest, it's like I'm givin' life up
Pillows and thoughts, not takin' no calls
And never get up, babyYou got me on bed rest, I'm hurtin' for love
I didn't get the respect that I deserve
It will take time before I can find the will to get up
The will to get upI want the dark
Could somebody cut the lights off? Cut the lights on
Tryna get a rise on gone like the sun till the morning
And I can't lie when the day goes by
I'm missin' you, I'm so hornyBaby, I wish I could hold you
Promise I'll never let go of ya
Baby, you got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, ehOh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby, eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh baby

Comprised of Naomi, Sarah, Lesley and Binkie, Electrik Red hails from both New York City and Canada. Binkie and Lesley, who attended NYC's prestigious Laguardia School of Performing Arts, met the Toronto born Naomi and Sarah while individually performing as back-up dancers for artists like Usher, Mariah Carey and Ciara. After running into each other time and again at auditions and parties, the girls began to form a friendship. "We'd get together on our off time, and strategize," says Naomi. "For some of us the ultimate was getting to work with an amazing performer, like a Janet Jackson or Madonna," explains Binkie. "But once you hit that mark it's like ok, now where do I want to take it? In our case, making music was the next plateau to aim for."

Although the move to step to the front of the stage may have seemed risky, the girls knew they were ready. "Everyone had lucrative careers," says Lesley, "but we had the confidence to say. Ok, let's stop all that and go off on our own with no help from anyone we'd worked for."

While their individual careers started with dance, the girls all grew up studying music. Binkie the business early from her father who was a member in the legendary Caribbean soul group Kid Creole and the Coconuts. Lesley began vocal training at age three while Sarah studied the piano as a young girl. Once they decided to form a group, the girls decided on the name Electrik Red which they felt exuded their collective sensuality.

In 2005, the foursome recorded a demo, and instead of calling on their long list of family friends and contacts in the music industry, Electrik Red decided to keep their new project under wraps. "What's crazy is that as many people we knew, we never really shopped the demo, we were protective of our music," says Naomi. "We felt like we couldn't go to an executive at a label until we feel like we had the best music possible. We believe you only have one shot."

In February of 2008, that one shot came when Electrik Red secured a deal with Def Jam. The girls were then paired with the hottest hit makers in town, The Dream and Tricky Stewart, who had worked with everyone from Mary J. Blige to Beyonce. "We all looked at each other and said 'Holy shit guys!'" remembers Binkie. "Look where we're at right now!"

The multi-talented group are now getting ready to release their debut album which has rapidly become heavily anticipated thanks to the massive buzz surrounding Electrik Red's first single, "Drink In My Cup." The slinky, yet hard hitting atmospheric "Drink In My Cup" showcases the girl's flowing harmonies and edgy phrasing. The mix of street and seduction makes it clear Electrik Red is taking mainstream R&B to an entirely new level.

"You know how back then the Spice Girls had girl power?" asks Sarah. "With us it's lady power, girl power on crack!" "I'd like people to hear four strong women who are very comfortable with their sexuality and with what we can bring to the world," says Lesley. "We will be heard damnit!"
