P.Y.T. was a Florida-based girl group in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Unlike many pop groups, PYT.'s formation was not the result of scouting by a talent agency or a series of auditions. Instead, these Tampa teenagers. Lauren Mayhew , Ashley Niven, Lydia Bell, Tracy Williams had all been childhood friends. They had previously performed together in the Tampa Entertainment Revue (through Busch Gardens) and were signed to Epic Records in 1998. The members of PYT derived their group's name from a Michael Jackson song entitled "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," though on some occasions the girls used the acronym "PYT." to stand for the slogan "Prove Yourself True," based on their song, "Prove Yourself". Among the members of the group, Tracy Williams was the alto and sung lower harmonies, Lauren Mayhew and Ashley Niven were mezzo-sopranos and sung the melody line, and Lydia Bell was the soprano who sung higher harmonies. Ashley Niven was the lead vocalist on the tracks on the album PYT (Down With Me). The group is best known for their singles: "Something More Beautiful", "Same Ol Same Ol" and "PYT (Down With Me)". They were also featured on the soundtracks to the films 'Bring It On' and 'Center Stage', and appeared in label-mate Mandy Moore's music video for "Candy".

The group's debut album, "PYT (Down With Me)", was released in August of 2001, and the band disbanded shortly after. Bell & Mayhew attempted to form a new band, Turning Pointe, that ended fairly quickly. Williams had a bit more success, forming her own R&B based trio, UC3.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have been waiting
watching you from a distance baby
thinking, wondering
if you're gonna be here with me

you're on my mind baby all the time
I hope someday you will realize that

sooner or later
you're gonna be mine
I want you forever
I can't stop now
I wish you could love me
the way i love you
but sooner or later
I will get to you

something tells me
that you and i should be together
so I hope we run away to something better

you're on my mind baby all the time
I hope someday you will realize that

sooner or later
you're gonna be mine
I want you forever
I can't stop now
I wish you could love me
the way I love you
but sooner or later
I will get to you

I never thought that i could feel this way
so don't be afraid
I ain't gonna hurt you
I just wanna love you
I promise my love is true

(repeat 2x)

you're gonna be mine
I want you forever
I can't stop now
I wish you could love me
the way I love you

but sooner or later
I will get to you
