PYT
James Ingram/Quincy Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here did you come from lady
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away won't you baby
Tendoroni you've got to be
Spark my nature
Sugar fly with me
Don't you know now
Is the perfect time
We can make it right
Hit the city lights
Then tonight ease the lovin' pain
Let me take you to the max

I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
I'll shake you there

[Background:]
Anywhere you wanna go

Nothin' can stop this burnin'
Desire to be with you
Gotta get to you baby
Won't you come it's emergency
Cool my fire yearnin'
Honey come set me free
Don't you know now is the perfect time
We can dim the lights
Just to make it right
In the night

Hit the lovin' spot
I'll give you all that I've got

I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
I'll take you there

[Breakdown:]
Pretty young things repeat after me
(Michael) I said na na na
(P.y.t.'s) na na na
(Michael) na na na na
(P.y.t.'s) na na na na
(Michael) na na na
(P.y.t.'s) na na na
(Michael) I said na na na na na
(P.y.t.'s) na na na na na
(Michael) I'll take you there

I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)




Tender lovin' care
I'll take you there
