About Trust Me

"I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much" is a song written and recorded by soul musician Bobby Womack, released as the leading track off his 1985 album, So Many Rivers, the so-called trilogy to The Poet series of records Womack recorded for Los Angeles-based Beverly Glen Records. The song became one of Womack's final R&B chart-topping hits peaking at number-two on the chart. Womack also shot his first-ever music video with the song which showed Womack singing the song live in a recording studio (the recorded version had different vocals). The song was later referenced by rapper Nas on his song "Blunt Ashes" which talked about Womack's quick marriage to Sam Cooke's widow Barbara Campbell.

Trust in me, baby, give me time, gimme time, um gimme time
I heard somebody say, oh, "The older the grape
Sweeter the wine, sweeter the wine" 

Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day, yeah
That's the price you've got to pay

Trust in me, baby, give me time, gimme time
Please, a little more time
Takes a road runner just a little bit uh-longer, dear
Oh, to make up my mind, I gotta make up my mind
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day
That's the price that we both got to pay

I gotta know, know that I'm ready, oh ready to settle down
'Cause I think too much of your loving, baby
Yeah, I don't wanna mess your life around! 

So if you love me like you tell me that you're doing, dear
You shouldn't mind paying the price, any price, any price
Love is supposed to be that special kind of thing
Make anybody want to sacrifice
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day
That's the price we both gotta pay

Trust in my love, in my heart
Keep the faith, baby, keep the faith in me, dear, in my love
Don't turn your face away from me, dear, oh you leave a lost girl
Oh, don't turn your love away, no no no no no no no
You gotta believe in me, baby, yeah, trust me dear, oh
