Baby let's rap now
Dance a little later
Baby let's rap now
I wanna talk to you
Baby let's rap now
Dance a little later
It's so important to me.
Dancing is fine
But it's not on my mind
No not tonight
I wanna get closer to you baby
Oh baby mentality.
Come on let's make it happen
Girl let it be
I want to reveal
What it is I feel
About you baby
Oh about you baby.
Baby let's rap now
Dance a little later

About you baby
Oh about you baby.
Ain't nothing like good, good lovin'
Oh baby when it's done right

The Moments' song "Baby Let's Rap Now" is a slow jam ballad that focuses on communicating with one's partner in a deeper way. The lyrics highlight the importance of talking and rapping with one's significant other, rather than just dancing and physically connecting. The song sets a romantic mood and encourages vulnerable conversation and communication between the two people in the relationship.
The repeated phrase "Baby let's rap now, dance a little later" emphasizes the importance of initiating meaningful dialogue and discussing emotions before engaging in physical activities. The lyrics suggest that the singer desires a deeper connection with their partner beyond just physical attraction, expressing a desire to know and understand their partner's thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
The song's reference to "good, good lovin'" and the importance of putting "our love minds together" emphasizes the power and intimacy of emotional connection. The lyrics suggest that real love involves more than just physical attraction or sexual intimacy - it's about creating a deep, emotional connection and truly getting to know and understand one's partner.

One of the best songs ever put out by the "Moments". As I recall there was an 8 minute version of the song "Baby Let's Rap Now" part two. As far as I know it was put out as a12 inch single, and has never been released again. If anyone has the long version I hope they will post it. Harry Ray did a great job with the lead vocal of this song. This song is an R&B classic by the "MOMENTS" a.k.a. "RAY, GOODMAN & BROWN".

The MOMENTS, RAY GOODMAN & BROWN left STANG Records in 1978. They signed with POLYDOR Records. In 1979 STANG Records became SUGAR HILL Records. In 1980 HARRY RAY went back to SUGAR HILL to record this song and put it out as a MOMENTS single. CLIFF PERKINS may have been one of the other two guys on the record. I know for a fact HARRY RAY IS singing on this record. HARRY also put out a solo LP out on SUGAR HILL called BACK HOME. RAY, GOODMAN & BROWN signed with EMI IN 1986.
