Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah

Here it is

[Verse 2]

She caught me by surprise, I must say

'Cause I never have seen such a pretty face

With such a warm and beautiful smile

It wasn't hard for me to notice her style

I was fascinated, surely

She took my heart and held it for me

I wouldn't let her get away

Not until she heard me say

[Verse 3]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name?

Where are you from and can I come?

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park

I'll have you home before it's dark

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight?

[Verse 4]

Don't care if I get rejected

At least then I won't regret

Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance

At least, I'll walk away knowing

I tried my best and I'm going

I'm going on with my day

'Cause at least she heard me say

[Verse 5]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name? (Come on)

Where are you from and can I come? (Hey, you)

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park (Yeah, yeah)

I'll have you home before it's dark

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight?

[Verse 6]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name? (Ooh, I wanna know you)

Where are you from and can I come? (I think I can show you good love)

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park (Tonight, don't worry)

I'll have you home before it's dark

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight?

[Verse 7]

That's why I had to come over

And introduce myself to you

'Cause you're never gonna know where you'll find love

And hopefully, I'll find it in you

[Verse 8]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name?

Where are you from and can I come?

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park (Got love for you, baby)

I'll have you home before it's dark (I'll come get you, baby)

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight?

[Verse 9]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name? (Come on, tonight)

Where are you from and can I come? (Tonight)

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park

I'll have you home before it's dark

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight? (Let me make our house a home, baby)

[Verse 10]

Excuse me, miss, but what's your name?

Where are you from and can I come?

And possibly, can I take you out tonight?

To a movie, to the park

I'll have you home before it's dark

So let me know

Can I take you out tonight?
