BVSMP are best remembered for the hit single "I Need You," which became a worldwide hit in the summer of 1988. It spent 12 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at Number 3 in July 1988.
Goldie Lookin Chain's 2004 hit "You Knows I Loves You" is, in part, based around "I Need You," containing many of the same lines, for instance "I'm after your heart/oh don't you see" (which on the BVSMP original, concludes with "I'm not out to get your virginity", and on the GLC version becomes "and your three kids doesn't bother me") and "What's it gonna take to get your attention?" (which concludes with "You keep my mind hanging in suspension" on the original, and on the GLC version concludes with "track suit, gold chain and seven inch erection")[citation needed]
BVSMP are also mentioned by name in the track "Roller Disco" on GLC's Greatest Hits album
Be Gentle
BVSMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're ready for the cheer, boy?
Yeaheah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you want me (When you want me)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
Be gentle like the breeze on a summer's night (Yeah)
Whenever I'm with you everything is alright (Yeah)
Underneath the stars as we stroll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
With the aid of moonlight a silhouette I behold
Using that special feeling to guide my eyes
Once locked in place I realize
That the shadow that is formed is one, not two
And that's the way it should be while it's me and you
Standing side by side with the stars above
Could this mean that I'm falling in love?
The feeling is there and there's no mistaking
With just one touch you've got me shaking
Something seems strange, I don't know what it is
It must have started out with the first kiss
Ever since then things just weren't the same
One hundred times a day I called out your name
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you want me (When you want me)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you want me (When you want me)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
Though we never got further than a simple embrace (Girl)
Every time I close my eyes I see her face (Girl)
To tell the truth I don't know what to do (Girl, girl, girl)
How do I know if the girl is true blue?
I went further than I wanted, now it can't be stopped
Girl, the feeling that you give me can't be topped
See, love is based on many different levels
But the love you give is all so gentle
One thing is for sure, my love is pure
'Cause you're the one I want, the one I adore
The one pleasure that I treasure is to call you mine
'Cause you spoil me with your love that is so devine
My emotions are strong and I'm here to show
That I'm not a one-night Romeo
Each of us only has one life to live
So, girl, stop taking and start to give
I'm desperately waiting for you to share
My life of tender love and care
Sometimes I can't help it if I'm sentimental
'Cause your touch is soft and your love's so gentle
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you want me (When you want me)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
Be gentle (Be gentle)
When you want me (When you want me)
When you need me (When you need me)
Show me you love me
I'm trying to take things slow, one step at a time (Baby)
Because falling in love is like committing a crime (Baby)
And I can only plead guilty if my love is true (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
You get to me, girl, like many others have tried
And you're the only female that keeps me satisfied
If your love can be mine just for one day
I would hope that you would happen to come my way
And as the day begins a frown is on my face
But it comes to an end with your warm embrace
Sometimes I can't help it if I'm sentimental
'Cause your touch is soft and your love's so gentle

Underneath the stars as we stroll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Walking together under the starry night sky
With the aid of moonlight a silhouette I behold
The moonlight creates a shadowy outline of the person I'm with
Using that special feeling to guide my eyes
The emotions I feel guide how I perceive the person I'm with
Once locked in place I realize
As I focus on the shadow, I come to an understanding
That the shadow that is formed is one, not two
I recognize that the shadow represents us, not two separate individuals
And that's the way it should be while it's me and you
This is how we should be, united and in love
Standing side by side with the stars above
Being together under the stars
Could this mean that I'm falling in love?
I wonder if I'm starting to have feelings of love
The feeling is there and there's no mistaking
I'm sure that my emotions for you are real
With just one touch you've got me shaking
Your touch has a powerful effect on me
Something seems strange, I don't know what it is
I'm confused about the situation
It must have started out with the first kiss
The confusion began after our first kiss
Ever since then things just weren't the same
Things changed after we kissed
One hundred times a day I called out your name
I think about you constantly
Though we never got further than a simple embrace (Girl)
We haven't progressed past hugging and kissing
Every time I close my eyes I see her face (Girl)
You're always on my mind
To tell the truth I don't know what to do (Girl, girl, girl)
I'm unsure of how to proceed with our relationship
How do I know if the girl is true blue?
I'm unsure if you're loyal and truthful
I went further than I wanted, now it can't be stopped
We've progressed further than I intended and I can't turn back
Girl, the feeling that you give me can't be topped
I don't think I could feel this way about anyone else
See, love is based on many different levels
Love can be complex and multifaceted
But the love you give is all so gentle
But the love you show me is tender
One thing is for sure, my love is pure
I love you genuinely and sincerely
'Cause you're the one I want, the one I adore
I love you deeply and affectionately
The one pleasure that I treasure is to call you mine
I love the joy of being able to call you my partner
'Cause you spoil me with your love that is so devine
You treat me lovingly and generously
My emotions are strong and I'm here to show
I have intense feelings for you and I want to express them
That I'm not a one-night Romeo
I'm not just looking for a one-night stand
Each of us only has one life to live
We only have one chance to make the most of our lives
So, girl, stop taking and start to give
I want you to show your love for me too
I'm desperately waiting for you to share
I eagerly await your expression of love for me
My life of tender love and care
A life of love and affection
Sometimes I can't help it if I'm sentimental
Sometimes I can't control my feelings of sentimentality
'Cause your touch is soft and your love's so gentle
You treat me lovingly and tenderly
I'm trying to take things slow, one step at a time (Baby)
I want to take our relationship gradually, without rushing
Because falling in love is like committing a crime (Baby)
Falling in love can be risky and dangerous
And I can only plead guilty if my love is true (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll admit to being in love with you, if it's genuine
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
I'm willing to do anything for you
You get to me, girl, like many others have tried
You have an effect on me that others have attempted to achieve
And you're the only female that keeps me satisfied
You're the only one who can make me happy
If your love can be mine just for one day
If we could be together for just one day
I would hope that you would happen to come my way
I wish you could be with me
And as the day begins a frown is on my face
I start the day feeling unhappy
But it comes to an end with your warm embrace
But I feel better when I'm with you and we embrace
