Womack & Womack - Baby I'm Scared Of You (Elektra Records 1983)

Womack & Womack was the singing and songwriting partnership of American musicians Cecil Womack and his wife, Linda Womack. The duo were successful as songwriters for other artists, and had several international hits as a singing duo in the 1980s and 1990s. Later recordings, with other members of their family, were credited to The House of Zekkariyas.

In 1983, Cecil and Linda began performing and recording together as Womack & Womack, and released a successful album, Love Wars produced by Stewart Levine on Elektra Records. The first single from the album, "T.K.O.", reached the Billboard R&B chart; the next single, "Love Wars", reached no.14 on the UK singles chart in early 1984, and the third single from the album, "Baby I'm Scared Of You", was successful in both the US (no. 25, R&B chart) and the UK (no. 72). As with most of the tracks they recorded together, the songs were written by the pair. Drawing from their own, convoluted, personal experiences, Cecil and Linda, knowing each other since childhood, were experts at capturing the trials, travails and tribulations of love.

Cecil Dale Womack (September 25, 1947 – February 1, 2013) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. He was one of the musical Womack brothers (Bobby Womack), and had success both as a songwriter and recording artist, notably with his wife Linda as Womack & Womack. In later years he took the name Zekuuba Zekkariyas.

Womack became the second husband of Motown singer Mary Wells in 1967; they divorced in 1977. He also had a son born in 1966 from a prior relationship.

Cecil spent his final years traveling the world with his wife and children, and using his time to explore his African heritage, spirituality and knowledge of the continent as well as making music. He died of unknown causes in South Africa on February 1, 2013, at age 65.

Linda Womack,, also known as Zeriiya Zekkariyas, is an American singer and songwriter. Womack is the daughter of Sam Cooke, and with her husband Cecil Womack has had a successful recording career under the name Womack & Womack.

"I Wasn't Kidding" is a song by American recording artist Angie Stone. It was written by Andrea Martin and Adrian Austin for Stone's first compilation album Stone Hits: The Very Best of Angie Stone (2005), while production was overseen by Martin and Vada Nobles. The song is built around a sample from the 1983 record "Baby I'm Scared of You" as written and performed by Womack & Womack.

Come, if you got real love for me
Stay away, if got games and tricks for me

I wanna man that means everything he say
And not a boy full of play
Pulling rabbits out of his hat everyday
Oh, Baby I'm scared of you

I... I don't believe in magic (magic)
I believe in love everlasting
I can't understand that

Houdini, Houdini, was great magician
He could crack a lock, from any position

But my heart, is nothing like those locks
And your falling last of my brand of stock
Like little red riding hood, you're the fox
Oh baby I'm scared of you

I... I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I... I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting

Don't go pulling no rabbits out your hat
It'll be all I want from that
Baby now I can't go for that

I can't understand that baby (naw naw)
I can't understand that

You ain't no Houdini
Ah, I know I ain't

I can't understand that baby
Oh, Like Rudolph Valentino,
I can fall down on my knees
Pull flowers out my sleeve
Because I know you will be pleased, I wonder

I can't understand that baby
I can't understand that
Look, I can pull flowers out my hat
Do a disappearing act
Come back on you so strong
Girl I really turn your loving on, I wonder

I can't understand that baby
I can't understand that
I need a man
I'm available

Mean everything he say
Don't need a boy full of games and tricks everyday
I can't understand that baby (naw naw)
I can't understand that
Baby, let me groove ya

Ah, Ah, Ah, I need a little more
Baby let me soothe ya

Oh, Oh, baby I need a little more
Baby let me hold ya

Oh, nah, baby I need a little more
Baby let me squeeze ya

Oh, oh child, I need a little more
Baby what you want

Oh, I need a little more
Oh baby I need little more
Baby let me hold ya

Ah, ah, ah baby I need a little more
Gonna wanna control ya

Oh, naw baby, I need a little more
Baby what you want

Oh come on baby make a pretty good living
Baby let me kiss ya

Oh, naw baby, need a little love
Baby let me hold ya

Hey baby, I need a little more
I just want to squeeze ya

Ah baby, I need a little more
Baby, just want to tease ya

Oh.......

Come on baby, I need little more
Baby what you want

Ah baby, give me pretty loving
Baby what ya need

Oh baby I need a lot of love
Need a little more
Baby let me hold ya

Oh baby, I need a little more

Oh, baby, gonna need a little more

My parents loved this song ... now I'm in my late 30s and I'm enjoying this song 😉

[talikamurray]

YEAH. Who still jamming on this in 2020

[blktenor]

I like this song. What I find interesting about it is that usually when I hear r&b music from 1982 onwards it was more electronic sounding (i.e. Thriller, stuff by New Edition, all of that New Jack Swing Stuff). I always thought this song came out earlier than 1983 but I guess not.

[stephaniejosephs]

I just discovered this song this year, and whatever their skeletons were, they made beautiful music together, when i first heard this song everthing stopped, i had to find out who was singing it, its a Fly song.

[loso]

So this who I been dancing to in the club all them years with my two step
