[Intro: Man & Boyz II Men]
Hey guys?
Yo what's up y'all
Hey why don't we do something for the jeeps you know?
Yeah that's cool, like what though?
Like some harmony over the hip-hop tracks?
Yeah, I'm with it, I'm with it
Here check this out
Wait a minute, wait a minute, now

[Verse 1]
There's a girl I know who look so fine
She really turns me on
My friends said I should
But it's takin' me too long
Every time I get the nerve to call
She is never home
I leave another message
And I sit here all along
She's got me

[Chorus]
Under pressure
And the feelin' is killin' me
Under pressure
Why is it oh so strong
I don't wanna be along

[Verse 2]
So I got a chance to talk to her
To see just where we stand
If she felt the same about me
Could I be her only man
I tried to write it out
That we could have some fun
But before I got an answer
She said she had to run, it's got me

[Chorus]
Under pressure
And the feelin' is killin' me
Under pressure
Why is it oh so strong
I don't wanna be along
Under pressure
And the feelin' is killin' me
Under pressure
Why is it oh so strong
I don't wanna be along
Under pressure
And the feelin' is killin' me
Under pressure
Why is it oh so strong
I don't wanna be along
Under pressure
And the feelin' is killin' me
Under pressure
Why is it oh so strong
I don't wanna be along

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
