Turn me up yo
That's right
New Edition
(You don't have to worry)

Chorus:
I know that things ain't right
Seems like all we do is fight
And it's been on my mind
You don't have to worry
I'm gonna make it right
I'll be by your side
No more lonely nights
You dont' have to worry

Verse 1 - Bobby
Lady, I know I've been acting strange
It seems to me, you're tired of playing games
I've been around, had girls here and there
I did you wrong, but I'll give my life to make it right

Chorus:
I know that things ain't right
Seems like all we do is fight
And it's been on my mind
You don't have to worry
I'm gonna make it right
I'll be by your side
No more lonely nights
You don't have to worry

Verse 2 - Bobby
What must I do, to make it up to you?
What can I say, to make you see things my way?
I know it's hard for you to understand
I did you wrong, but I'll give my life to make it right

Chorus:
I know that things ain't right
Seems like all we do is fight
And it's been on my mind
You don't have to worry
I'm gonna make it right
I'll be by your side
No more lonely nights
No more
You don't have to worry

Bridge - Ralph:
Don't be afraid, oh
I'll be there whenever you need me
I'll be there, trust in me
Just call on me
I won't let you down oooh

Rap - Mike:
N.E. expertise please
Here to put the squeeze on the
Industry fleas
Getting cheese, peep these, butter
Slurs, his & hers
Chinchilla furs, check the goodfella words
You don't ever have to worry
Cause I get in ya like Murry
And Boo, it's only a light flurry
You're frontin' cattin', you wanna
Rumble in the satin
In a bad ass suite somewhere in lower Manhattan

Rap - Ronnie
I'm from the street too
But I gotta eat too
Won't hesitate to eat you
Other than that, glad to meet you
I spend nights in the Ramada
My honey's stay laced in Escada
Chickens is mad that I got her
Casino style, gambino type smile
Kiss you before I twist you
All the wax is official
Player's on the set, gettin' wet
Sippin' Perrier-Jouet
So you don't even have to worry, yet

Chorus: (2X adlib over)

New Edition

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
