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
Hold me
BVSMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're back
We had put an end
And all the propaganda from before
But I just have one question for you
Girl, did you really, really think was true? (no, no)
I didn't think so
Baby, show me
Console me
And you'll be there
Maybe I can trust you
And learn to love too
So hold me
And you'll be there
Baby, be mine
Just love me forever and a day
And try to understand all that words I gonna say
You are the one I gonna do, you don't have a clue
Well, if you wanna be with me, then I gonna stay with you
Wherever things get dark, get closest to my heart
You were there from the start, so you'll always be a part
To show me that you are able to adore
And keep our love secure, whenever
Don't take that word as a joke, whenever is spoken
Take as a token, I don't want my heart broken
Long as you love me, I'll never let you go
But specially I let you know, that you're dealing when I go
I'm taking the time, such in the back of my mind
Do you have the love I've been looking to find?
Well, I'm away, will you wait for me?
Or when I return will be too late for me?
In other words, when I return
Speakin' straight from the heart
This is a test of the love or we are apart?
Cherish this love and don't disappoint me
As long as I know that you are mine
I just claim, baby this means, everything is fine
