[Intro: Ralph Tresvant]
Yeah, I can't deny it
On the inside, I'm slowly dying
But with a little love, it'll be alright
Just give me one more day
I promise I'll make it up to you
I never meant to hurt you, baby
Just trust me, listen

[Verse 1: Ricky Bell]
I can't deny it, that you got me crying, you see
And I'm, I'm slowly dying, so we can't give up trying to be
With a little love, it will be all right
With a little kiss, let me hold you tight
With a little peace, it could be fine
And baby, don't you leave me tonight

[Hook: Ricky Bell]
I just need one more day, and I won't make you cry
Darling believe, and baby don't say goodbye
Look in my heart, and I won't tell you no lies
Just one more day, and loving me will be fine

[Verse 2: Ricky Bell]
People tell me that true love is blind
But I'm trying to prove that true love is kind
All that I want is to make things right
So won't you be my baby tonight

[Hook: Ricky Bell]
I just need one more day, and I won't make you cry
Darling believe, and baby don't say goodbye
Look in my heart, and I won't tell you no lies
Just one more day, and loving me will be fine

[Bridge]
One more day (one more day, one more day)
One more day (one more day, one more day)
One more day (one more day, one more day)
One more day (one more day, one more day)

With a little love it will be all right
With a little kiss let me hold you tight
With a little peace it could be fine
And baby don't you leave me tonight
I just need one more day

[Outro]
Just one more day
Just one more day
Just one more day
N.E. harmonize
One more day
One more day
One more day
One more day

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.
