Gettin’ High - Richard Pryor

Sitting here chillin' with you

(Yeah)

You’re getting close boy but I’m playing it cool

(Cool)

I must confess, I’m feeling you

(Feelin' you)

But I’m laying down some rules

Get one thing straight, I won’t be played

(No, no)

I don’t get down that way

You asked me once, I told you twice

When will you understand?

I asked my friends for their advice

They say, «Girl, don’t give in»

In you and me, I believe

But I’m torn between

It’s getting too heavy for me

Baby, why you stress me like that

(Why you wanna stress me boy?)

Talkin' 'bout what you have done in the past

(Yeah)

I don’t take love so casually

So don’t put that pressure on me

Baby just walk right out the door

(Right out the door)

'Cuz I’ve heard those lines before

You asked me once, I told you twice

When will you understand?

I asked my friends for their advice

They say, «Girl, don’t give in»

In you and me, I believe

But I’m torn between

It’s getting too heavy for me

You’re telling me this would prove that I care

(It's getting too heavy)

But if I waited baby, will you be there?

Will you be there?

There

You know I like you boy

But you gotta understand

That I’m just not ready

Been real with you

But we gotta take our time

(Take our time)

And I’m torn between

I’m torn between

It’s getting too heavy for me

You asked me once, I told you twice

When will you understand?

I asked my friends for their advice

They say, «Girl, don’t give in»

In you and me, I believe

But I’m torn between

It’s getting too heavy for me

For me

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh oh, oh oh

In you and me, I believe

But I’m torn between

It’s getting too heavy for me

It’s getting too heavy

Heavy, heavy, yeah

Don’t make me say it again

In you and me, I believe

But I’m torn between
