Jade - Don't Walk Away (1993)

How I loved this track all the way back in 1993! And that, rather than for it's dancability, more for it's heavy, deep bass line. Try it out: turn up this track with a touch of extra base and you'll have a gut-tingling experience.
Tonya Kelly, Joi Marshall and Di Reed were Jade. Their first single was titled 'I Wanna Love You' and was deeply considered as the answer song to male R&B group Color Me Badd's 'I Wanna Sex You Up' (remember?) The track led the way for the trio's biggest known single 'Don't Walk Away' and their debut album went on to receive platinum status.
Due to 'irreconcilable differences' with their record company and mismanagement of funds, Jade disbanded after the release of their 1994 album 'Mind, Body, & Soul'.
Joi went on to release an independent solo gospel album in 2007, Testimony & Praise, and wrote a book entitled 'Answers to the 20 Most Asked Questions in the Music Business'. Tonya became an interior designer with her own successful firm. She gained a degree in Interior and Architectural Design prior to joining Jade. Di continues to work on solo music and has been singing backup for the likes of Rod Stewart and Usher.

Lyrics:

( Hi, were not in right now but if you leave your name and number, we'll get back to you, to you, to you, ahhhh)

I got all this love, waiting just for you
I just got to know, that your love is true
Can't keep running boy, in and out my life
Wanna be your girl, not cause the mood is right

If i let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me?
When i need someone to hold

Baby don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before i invest my love

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

You say all the things
That i like to hear
You push all my buttons baby
Love to have you close to me
Wanna feel your love
Wanna be for sure
Thats its me you need baby
Each and every nite

If I let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me?
When I need someone to hold

Baby don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before i invest my love

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

Baby don't misunderstand
I want you for my man
I need a little time
Before I give you my love

Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

don't, doooooo don't, dooo, doo ,dooo don't

Don't walk away

Don't walk away boy
Dont walk away boy
I'll be right there for you

Don't walk away

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you
