Getting Late Lyrics


Baby
Ooo baby
Baby, baby
Ooo baby
We need to um talk about where
We're taking this thing
How far we're gonna let this go
We've been here before
It's getting late
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me, watching, needing, wanting me
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me, twice
Baby, oh baby baby baby
Listen, I've already been thinking
About you on my mind far too often for you

To be here at this time, you see
One hands on mine and the other's on my thigh
Look, I already played with the idea of you
Being here in the morning
And the position for the crack of dawn
And the conversations before the yawning
But aah, it's getting late, it's getting late
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me, watching, needing, wanting me
But I'm afraid, you say, don't be
But I'm afraid, you say, don't be
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me, twice
Oh baby baby baby
How's about I let you touch the space
That you left behind
The day that you stop smiling
The day that the tears started falling
But now were talking, touching
Almost making sensual again
We can taste the familiar 'cause
The family hour supports it of this moment
But was led by the movements 'cause, ah, it's getting late
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me, watching, needing, wanting me
But I'm afraid, you say, don't be
But I'm afraid, you say, don't be
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice
Oh baby baby baby
Oh baby, twice, baby baby baby
Oh baby baby baby baby baby
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
Oh baby baby baby baby baby baby, oh baby
I see the memories we replayed
Same space, face, bodies
I know there's a method to your manliness
But, ah, I'm afraid
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me, watching, needing, wanting me.
But I'm afraid, you say don't be
But I'm afraid, and you say don't be
I'm afraid that you'll gonna hurt me baby, baby twice baby
Baby baby baby baby, twice, baby, oh baby
Baby baby, oh baby
I see the memories replayed
Same spaces, same faces, same bodies, baby
I know this method to your manliness
But I'm afraid, babe
I see the memories replayed
Same spaces, same faces, same bodies, baby
I know this method to your manliness
But I'm afraid, baby baby baby
I'm afraid
Baby, don't hurt me
Oh, I'm about to cry
I'm about to cry for you baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid, baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid, baby
Don't hurt me, baby
Please don't hurt me
I'm afraid, baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart are the funky divas behind the neo-soul duo Floetry. Ambrosius and Stewart emerged in the mid-'90s as songwriters in demand. They're behind some of the new millennium's biggest hits, too. The pair has written tracks for Michael Jackson, Jill Scott, Glenn Lewis, and Bilal. While they're highly respected behind the scenes, Floetry is their way of moving up front.

Ambrosius is the songstress to Stewart's spoken word impresario or "floacist" role. The two met due to their love of basketball. Stewart, who hails from London, was a superstar on her court, while Ambrosius wowed fans in her local English neighborhood. They were competitive, but not rivals, so a friendship was formed. Music was also a passion. Ambrosius relished in her reggae roots while Stewart found herself grooving to funk and soul. While attending Brits Performing Arts School, Ambrosius studied business and finance, but made room for courses in voice, performance technique, and recording. Stewart split her time between acting and directing. Later, Ambrosius and Stewart headed to college.

Ambrosius planned to attend Georgia Tech University on a basketball scholarship, but injury forced her to bow out. Stewart headed for Middlesex University, eventually transferring to North London University. Still, they two kept in touch and raved about music. It wouldn't be until Stewart's girl group, 3 Plus 1, disbanded that Floetry would actually give music a serious shot.

In 1997, Ambrosius and Stewart began writing songs and playing shows in and around London. Three years later, they moved to America in search of something bigger. A brief stint in Atlanta didn't pan out, but their time spent in Philadelphia proved golden. Ambrosius and Stewart befriended Julius Erving III, basketball great Julius Erving's son, in mid-2000. Floetry and Erving clicked instantly. Erving signed on as their manager and hooked the ladies up with Jeff Townes, aka DJ Jazzy Jeff, for some recording. That's when the deals started trickling in -- Floetry were official and living out a dream. In 2002, they inked a deal with DreamWorks and touched up their own work for a debut album. Floetic appeared in October 2002, and its follow-up, Flo'Ology, reached the Top Ten upon release three years later.
