Just a Little Bit Lyrics


I was minding my own business
Trying to do some thinkin'
You came up beside me
And you asked me what was I drinkin'
Moments turn to seconds
Turn to minutes, turn to hours
Now we're back at my place
And we were kissin' in the shower, ooh
Puttin' the cards on the table
Take out that ring in your navel
It feels so right, I'm yours, you're mine
Hold up before this train goes runnin' wild
All I want is let the truth to be told
All that glitters isn't always gold
See, I been down this road before
I just wanna be sure, so can we
Sip some wine just a little bit?
Can we take our time just a little bit?

If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Can we just relax just a little bit?
Can we just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
I just want to make sure
That if we do this, we don't regret it
'Cause if the friction turns to static
Then we just might as well forget it
'Cause nowadays I attempt to
Take a good look before I leap in
'Cause I could skate all by myself
And through you can't believe it, no
Puttin' the cards on the table
Take out that ring in your navel
It feels so right, I'm yours, you're mine
Hold up before this train goes runnin' wild
All I want is let the truth to be told
All that glitters isn't always gold
See, I been down this road before
I just wanna be sure, so can we
Sip some wine just a little bit?
Can we take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Can we just relax just a little bit?
Can we just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Don't think that I don't want you
And that you don't drive me crazy
But there's just too many "what-ifs"
There's far too many "maybes"
Just one step back, take a big breath
No pressure, baby, there's no stress
It feels so good
And I'm not sayin' that we can't do this, but can we
Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah
Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah
Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?
Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Biography

Some folks still get them mixed up, so to get it straight from the outset, Little Johnny Taylor was best known for his scorching slow blues smashes "Part Time Love" (for Bay Area-based Galaxy Records in 1963) and 1971's "Everybody Knows About My Good Thing" for Ronn Records in Shreveport, LA. This Johnny Taylor was definitely not the suave Sam Cooke protégé who blitzed the charts with "Who's Making Love" for Stax in 1968; that's Johnnie Taylor, who added to the confusion by covering "Part Time Love" for Stax. Another similarity between the two Taylors: both hailed from strong gospel backgrounds.
Little Johnny came to Los Angeles in 1950 and did a stint with the Mighty Clouds of Joy before going secular. Influenced by Little Willie John, he debuted as an R&B artist with a pair of 45s for Hunter Hancock's Swingin' logo, but his career didn't soar until he inked a pact with Fantasy's Galaxy subsidiary in 1963 (where he benefited from crisp production by Cliff Goldsmith and Ray Shanklin's arrangements).

The gliding mid-tempo blues "You'll Need Another Favor," firmly in a Bobby Bland mode, was Taylor's first chart item. He followed it up with the tortured R&B chart-topper "Part Time Love," which found him testifying in gospel-fired style over Arthur Wright's biting guitar and a grinding, horn-leavened downbeat groove. The singer also did fairly well with "Since I Found a New Love" in 1964 and "Zig Zag Lightning" in 1966.

Taylor's tenure at Stan Lewis' Ronn imprint elicited the slow blues smash "Everybody Knows About My Good Thing" in 1971, and a similarly witty hit follow-up, "Open House at My House," the next year (both were covered later by Z.Z. Hill for Malaco). While at Ronn, Little Johnny cut some duets with yet another Taylor, this one named Ted (no, they weren't related either). Though he recorded only sparingly during the 1980s and 1990s, he remained an active performer until his death in 2002. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide http://music.msn.com/music/artist-biography/little-johnny-taylor/
