Isn't It Scary

I know a place
Where we can get it on good, baby
As far away, baby
From the world and all the city lights
If you're not scared to get away
From the normal things
From the normal dreams
And you're not thinking
About your man at home
Just me and you alone
Ain't it scary, baby
Isn't it scary
How you're here with me
And not with your man at home
Isn't it scary
How you're here with me
And not with your man at home
Me and you alone
And baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't you see this love runs deep in me
Pretty lady, oh girl
I feel too good to feel guilty
I'm sorry for nothing
Except that I'm not with you for good
And if I could, if I could, yeah
I'd make you mine, oh mine
Now aren't scared
Hook 2 times
Isn't it scary
Ah babe
Isn't It Scary
Babyface's 'Isn't It Scary' stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, R&B-infused pop sensibility, blending lush harmonies with a driving groove that defined the late 1980s and early 1990s sound. As a solo artist, Babyface crafted this track to showcase his signature ability to weave romantic themes with a sophisticated, almost theatrical edge. The recording features his characteristic vocal delivery, layered with rich orchestration and synth textures that became hallmarks of his discography. While often associated with the broader New Jack Swing movement of the era, the song relies more on its polished production and emotional depth than on the rhythmic breakbeats typical of the genre. It remains a staple of his catalog, illustrating his capacity to create timeless, radio-friendly hits that prioritize melodic beauty and atmospheric depth over complex production tricks.
