Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
You're wonderin' if I care about you
Is there some cause that I should doubt you?
Oh, I can see, boy
That you don't know me very well
Uh-uh
You're so unsure
[Verse 2]
And you run here and there
To ask my feelings
Friends only guess
They can't say really
[Verse 3]
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask my friends I hang around
Uh-uh
Don't be afraid to come to me
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid
You ask all my friends if I'm the same, boy
You don't understand, you think I'm changin'
[Verse 4]
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask my friends I hang around
Uh-uh
Don't be afraid (Never) to come to me
(Come over)
Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
(Come on and come on)
Don't be afraid of what ya see
(I'll make you feel at ease, baby)
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, baby
Ooh
Ooh
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid
Of me
Come to me, come to me, come to me
[Verse 6]
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid
I'll be waitin', baby
It's a really long time
