Nkrumah "Jah" Thomas (b. 1955, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae deejay and record producer who first came to prominence in the 1970s, later setting up his own Midnight Rock and Nura labels.
Named Nkrumah after Ghanaian nationalist leader Kwame Nkrumah, he adopted the stage name Jah Thomas and began deejaying in the mid-1970s, working with producers such as Alvin Ranglin, who released his single "Midnight Rock", which topped the Jamaican chart in 1976. Thomas's debut album, Stop Yuh Loafin' gained international recognition via a release on the newly formed Greensleeves Records label. Further deejay albums appeared in the late 1970s, before Thomas began concentrating on producing other artists, that included: Robert Ffrench, Anthony Johnson, Triston Palma, Johnny Osbourne, Michael Palmer, Barry Brown, Barrington Levy, Sugar Minott, Early B, Ranking Toyan, and Robin Hood, at the same time setting up the Midnight Rock record label, one of the most successful performer-owned labels of the period. Midnight Rock soon had a hit record in the shape of Thomas's "Cricket Lovely Cricket". Thomas would often use the mixing talents of Scientist, and the Roots Radics band. He later also set up the Nura label.
Why Just Be Friends Lyrics
:CHORUS:
Sure baby we can be friends
(Slow dance) Where would that lead
(Romance)
(Back rub) Where would we end
(Hot tub)
(Slow play) Who would you be, if we were more than friends
(Let's role, it don't matter what we do at all)
(Slow dance) Quite possibly
(Romance)
(Back rub) We conquered the world
(Hot tub)
(Slow play) Just you and me, baby Why Just Be Friends
(Just role, it don't matter what we do at all)
:Hook:
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Take off your coat
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
That's what I wanna do
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Baby, kick off your shoes
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Let's be More Than Just Friends
:VERSE 1:
Girl.. just.. re.. lax
I know we just started talkin'
Girl.. I.. can't.. help
But to think how we'd be
We could sail the seven seas like you was a dream
We can climb the highest mountain, know what I mean
Or just chill and watch a movie wit the T.V.
Baby you just gotta trust, I promise you'll see
:BRIDGE:
Stop, drop your beers, baby come get with me
Give me your tears, I got the remedy
Kick down your shoe, I'm not the enemy
Girl I just wanna be the only one to make you happy
Baby come close, I wanna feel ya body
Take it slow, ain't gotta bother nobody
We can't go wrong, baby just think about it
:CHORUS:
:HOOK:
:VERSE 2:
I.. don't.. want.. to
Move too fast but girl I'm ready
No pressure girl
Just sit back and let it be
If we rushin' baby girl just let me know
It ain't no thing for me to stop and take it slow
I ain't tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
But I can't help feelin' like you are the one I'm lookin' for
:BRIDGE:
:CHORUS:
Now I know that love has failed you many times before
But I'm tryin' to make you see
That the only one is me
So forget those other guys you dated long ago
And just let your mind be free
Lets be More Than Just Friends
:CHORUS:
