Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night I, I saw you standing
And I started, started pretending
That I knew you, and you knew me, too
[Verse 2]
And just like a Roni, you were too shy
But you weren't the only 'cause so was I
And I dreamed of you ever since
Now, I build up my confidence
Girl, next, next time you come my way
I'll know just what to say
[Verse 3]
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
[Verse 4]
I started to write you letters
But I wanted to be more clever
I wanted to get down and sweet talk you
[Verse 5]
Hey, baby
[Verse 6]
But just like a baby, I could not talk
And I tried to come closer, but could not walk
And I think of it every night
How I just could not get it right, oh
If we ever come close again
I'll know what I'll say then, yeah
[Verse 7]
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
[Verse 8]
Oh, girl
One more chance with you again
I will not let it go
Oh, please, give me just one more chance for love, love, love, love
[Verse 9]
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
[Verse 10]
Can we talk?
Come on and talk to me, baby, come on and talk to me, baby
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
Now, can we talk for a minute? Come on and talk to me, baby
Girl, I want to know your name
[Verse 11]
Can we talk?
Come on and talk to me, baby
See, I wanna know
You better tell me your name, baby
Can we talk for a minute?
I said, talk to me for a minute, come on and talk for a minute
I wanna know, I wanna know
I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
