Overview

Background

The DeBarge family are the children of Robert DeBarge Sr. (deceased in 2009), a white man of French descent, and Etterlene DeBarge (née Abney), a black woman born in Michigan in 1935. They married when Etterlene was 17, a year after the death of her father James Abney, a church choir leader and peanut retailer. They separated in the mid-1970s. Etterlene DeBarge remembers Robert DeBarge Sr. as physically and emotionally abusive to her and the children, using her youth, the absence of her father, and continuous pregnancy to control her. DeBarge Sr. has been characterized as "domineering and physically abusive to his wife," and some of the DeBarge children have accused him of sexually abusing them.Bunny Debarge, the eldest, recalls being sexually abused by him from ages 7-13.

It's Getting Stronger

by: DeBarge

Can't stop this feeling that I feel inside
I'm bubbling over and I just can't hide
Such a sweet sensation has come over me
in your arms for sure is where I want to be
My doubts and fears all seem to disappear
when I'm with you I feel safe and secure
Never dreamt this moment would come to be
where I'm not just loving, someones really loving me
It's getting stronger baby everyday (stronger)
Can't hold out longer got to break away (strong)x2
I know you love me cuz you show me how
you never turn me down that's not your style
I can't stop this feeling thats come over me
I'm so proud that our love's reached it's destiny
It took some time but hey we made it there
We've opened up our hearts have much to share
Never dreamt this moment would come to be
where I'm not just loving, someones really loving me
Such a sweet sensation has come over me
in your arms for sure is where I want to be
Never dreamt this moment would come to be
where I'm not just loving, someones loving me
Such a sweet sensation has come over me
in your arms for sure is where I wanna be
It's getting stronger baby everyday (Can't hold out longer)
Can't hold out longer got to break away (It's getting stronger and stronger)
It's getting stronger baby everyday (Can't hold out longer)
Can't hold out longer got to break away
It's building stronger haa haa
as the days go by haa haa
I can't hold out longer haa haa
as the days go by haa haa
Such a sweet sensation has come over me
Never dreamt this moment would come to be (Stronger)
Can't hold out longer
I can't stop this feeling that's come over me
I'm so proud that our love's reached it's destiny
Stronger
Can't hold much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger and stronger
