(Chorus)
(When you)
Start turning me on
I just react (when you)
Start turning me on
I can't hold back (when you)
Start turning me on
I give it to you and

(Ralph)
It started scratchin, sweatin, mournin
My body is growing hotter in Georgia
I want cha beside me all over my body
Don't worry my neighbors to old to hear us baby when you

Chorus
Start turning me on
I just react (when you)
Start turning me on
I can't hold back (when you)
Start turning me on
I give it to you and
Start turning me on
Don't stop what you doing

(Ralph)
What do you want me to taste first
(baby it don't matter at all)
As long as I feel your thirst
(baby got me climbin the wall)
All I request is 3000 seconds
Of your time your soul
Baby I lose control when you

(Chorus)
When we start touchin, kissin and grindin
Got me open temperatures risin
I start shakin, movin and grindin
Don't want you to hold back the climax
Let it go and show me your love girl
Hold me when its all set and done girl
We can do this thing every time
That you start turnin me on

(Mike)
You turnin me on and on and on and
First thing in the mornin the middle we yawnin
Your word is born you all I think about
When the snow fall the minks be out
Diamonds and links be out
We in the club where all the drinks be out
Where the thugs and all the freaks be out
Won't you peep me out
Approach me and try to sneak me out
Whoever thought you take the kinky route, ouch

(Ronnie)
Pain is pleasure
Mommy Ronnie had game forever
Mommy my hobbies ain't chains and leather
Mommy my hobbies be planes and cheddar
And the strangest weather
And the Mohabe didn't rain forever
But in the club its a different perpective
Dance floor electric Ronnie a star mommy its hectic
Since 83' the ladies be in my Mercedes 3
Yo whatever the ladies be so please believe

(Chorus)
Oh, turnin me babe
You turn me on, you turn me on babe
Girl I'm about to lose my mind
Please don't stop what you doing oh, oh babe
And I think I like it, babe

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.
