Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to do some thinkin'
You came up beside me and asked me
What was I drinkin'
Moments count to seconds
Count to minutes count to hours
Now we're back at my place
And we were kissin' in the shower ooooh
Put on the clothes on the table (on the table)
Together agreeing on your name (girl)
It feels, I'm yours
Hold up before this triangle's one on one
All I know there's the truth to be told (to be told)
All that gives isn't always gone (gone)
See I went down on this roll before
I just wanna be sure, so can we
(Sips on wine just a little bit) (just a little bit)
Can we (take a time just a little bit) (just a little bit)
If it's alright (if it's alright) if it's okay (if it's okay)
(Can we slow down just a little bit)
Can we (just relax just a little bit) (just a little bit)
Can we (just lay back just a little bit) (just a little bit)
If it's alright (if it's alright) if it's okay (if it's okay)
(Can we slow down just a little bit) yeah
I just want to make sure that if we do this
We don't regret it
Cause if the friction comes 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 stay all by myself from through you
Can't believe it, no
Put on the clothes on the table (on the table)
Together agreeing in your name
It feels, I'm yours
Hold up before this triangle's one on one
All I know there's the truth to be told
All that gives isn't always gone (gone)
See I went down on this roll before
I just wanna be sure, so can we
(Sips on wine just a little bit) (just a little bit)
Can we (take a time just a little bit) (just a little bit)
If it's alright (if it's alright) if it's ok (if it's okay)
(Can we slow down just a little bit)
Can we (just relax just a little bit) (just a little bit)
Can we (just lay back just a little bit) (just a little bit)
If it's alright (if it's alright) if it's ok (if it's okay)
(Can we slow down just a little bit) yeah
(Over) don't think that I don't want you
(Over) and that you don't drive me crazy
(Over) there's just too many 'what if's
(Over) there's way too many 'maybe's
Just one step back take a big breath
No pressure baby there's no stress
It feels so good
And I'm not sayin' we can't do this, but can we
Sips on wine just a little bit (just a little bit)
Take a time just a little bit (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 a little bit)
Just lay back just a little bit (just a little bit)
If it's alright, if it's okay yeah
In "Just A Little Bit", Brian McKnight is reflecting on a situation where he meets someone who catches his interest. He explains that he wants to take his time getting to know her and not rush into anything just yet. While he enjoys her company and is attracted to her, he wants to make sure that they won't have any regrets later on. He knows that jumping into something too quickly can lead to friction and eventual failure, so he hopes that they can slow down a little bit and take things at their own pace.
Throughout the song, McKnight acknowledges that passion and desire can be intoxicating and exciting, but he wants to make sure that there is more to their connection than just physical attraction. He wants to establish a deeper emotional bond with this person before things go further, and he hopes that she feels the same way. The lyrics also suggest that he has been burned in the past and doesn't want to repeat past mistakes.
Overall, "Just A Little Bit" is a cautionary tale about taking risks in love and being deliberate in your actions. The song encourages listeners to take their time and make sure that whatever they're pursuing is worth the effort.
