Give Me A Little More Time
Gabrielle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you really cared
Said if there were days I was lonely
Just call you - you'd be there
You tried your best convinced me
That you understand
And if I need someone to hold on to
Then I knew it was true
All the feelings that I had inside for you
I could not deny
Though many times I tried
Give me a little more time
I need to make up my mind
'cause you know I'm in two minds
I want to be more than your friend
Ooh I just can't pretend any longer
Feelings getting stronger
Give me a little more time
You've been there when I've needed
You've never let me down
I just don't know how I'd cope
Without you being around
Feelings have grown between us
Though friends we have been
Don't you think it complicates things
Or is it just me
Then I knew it was true
All the feelings that you had
I shared them too
I could not deny
Though many times I tried
Give me a little more time
Give me a little more time
I need to make up my mind
"Give Me A Little More Time" is a song by English singer Gabrielle, released in September 1996 as the lead single from her second studio album, "Gabrielle". The song is a ballad about a woman who is unsure of whether or not she wants to pursue a romantic relationship with a friend who has been there for her when she needed someone the most. The lyrics suggest that the man in question is patient, understanding and caring, but the woman is struggling to make up her mind about whether or not she wants to take the relationship to the next level.
The beginning of the song sees Gabrielle acknowledging that her friend has been there for her when she's needed them the most, but she's not sure if she's ready to commit to a romantic relationship. The chorus of the song is where Gabrielle asks for more time to think about things, indicating that she's not sure about whether or not she wants to be more than just friends with the person. The second verse is where Gabrielle questions whether or not a romantic relationship between them would complicate things.
The song continues with Gabrielle feeling as though the feelings they had for each other had grown beyond friendship. She admits that she feels the same way too, but she still needs some time to make up her mind.
Overall, the lyrics of the song display a level of honesty that is missing in many modern love songs. Gabrielle is not afraid to admit that she's scared about taking the relationship to the next level, but she's willing to give it a try if she's given a little more time. The level of vulnerability shown in the lyrics is part of what makes the song so endearing.

This amazing song should’ve been a massive hit. Sounds like the best of early Motown. Criminally underrated Gabrielle—thank you for this beautiful song beautifully and soulfully sung that I’ve always held dear to my heart! ❤️

I was only 4 or 5 when this came out and this was my mothers favourite song while i was growing up. Every car ride this was played, and i've honestly lost count the amount of times i entered my house to this being played.

Gabrielle is a true hidden gem. Massively underrated. She left singing to do the school run and be a mother full time. No one is like gabrielle then before or ever since. Style.. Soul and class but she makes it seem so effortless.
