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?
