Lyrics

I know you've been checking me for a while
And I've been watching and admiring your style
But situations on my end made it such
We couldn't build on a level very much
Time has passed and attraction still remains
But it seems you've got a man
What a shame, I don't think he knows
That we've been getting kinda close
Hours pass when we're talking on the phone
Yet I've been unable to get you alone
When we go out you always bring a friend along
Still I do my thing by coming on strong
Wonder why you shy away
When I one on one and one you seem to stray
'Cause I think you fear
That you will let me get too near
But can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than
A friend and be your man
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than just a friend
I know you want me for your man
Now, I'm not one to disrespect a lady man
But it don't exist from what I understand
It seems you barely really ever mention him
So is it very necessary to pretend
That we don't have more to share
Than fulfilling conversation, I don't care
Something for us to feel
Reveal what's been so hard to conceal
You open up like you're dying to let me in
That's what it seems from the signals that you send
If so then now we need to make some things clear
'Cause you're always looking back when I play the rear
Just know I'm still the gentleman
With a gentle touch to lead you by the hand
To my world and see
The pleasure and passion here with me
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than
A friend and be your man
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than just a friend
I know you want me for your man
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can I be more than just a friend
More, more, more
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than
A friend and be your man
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than just a friend
I know you want me for your man
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, say yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can I be more than just a friend
I know you want me for your man
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than
A friend and be your man
Can I get closer
Just let me touch your hand
Can I be more than just a friend
I know you want me for your man
