Uh-huh, yeah...Uh-huh, yeah (Ooh)...Uh-huh, yeah

[Chorus: New Edition & (Ricky Bell)]
Baby, we can try again (We can, we can)
If you're ready (Oh, yeah)
Baby, we can take it slow (We can take it slow)
If you're ready (We can)

[Verse 1: Bobby Brown]
I've been around
You know the things I used to do, uh huh
Girl, I never thought
Never thought I'd find someone like you, baby
Girl, I need you in my life

[Chorus: New Edition & (Ricky)]
Baby, we can try again (Ooh yeah)

Baby, we can take it slow
(We can take it slow)
If you're ready (If you're ready, whoa, oh oh oh)

[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
If you were mine
All the things of yesterday are no more
They're all gone
And I can say with a love like yours
What more would I need?
Girl, I need you in my life

[Chorus: New Edition & (Ricky)]
Baby, we can try again (You know that we can)
If you're ready (Yeah, oh)
Baby, we can take it slow (Girl, we can, oh)
If you're ready (Oh oh, yeah)

[Bridge: Bobby]
Oh, I'm waiting for someone like you
To love me, to hold me (Hold me)
To care for me
Like no other

Baby, we can try again
(Oh, ooh yeah, try, try, try, try)
If you're ready
Baby, we can take it slow (We can take it slow)
If you're ready (We don't have to slow)
Baby, we can try again (Oh yeah, yeah)
If you're ready
(We can do anything if you're ready, do anything here, baby)
Baby, we can take it slow (Take it slow)
If you're ready (Say if you're ready, if you're ready, oh oh)
Baby, we can try again
If you're ready
Baby, we can take it slow
If you're ready (Whoa-oh)
Baby, we can try again (We can try again)
If you're ready (We can take it slow)
Baby, we can take it slow (We can try again)
If you're ready (We can take it slow)
Baby, we can try again (We can try again)
If you're ready (We can take it slow, oh yeah yeah)
Baby, we can take it slow (We can try again)
If you're ready
(If you're ready, oh, if you're ready, ready, ready, ready)
Baby, we can try again (Try again)

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.
