Verse 1:
last night i
i saw you standing
i started
started pretending
i knew you
you knew me too
and just like a baby i could not talk
i tried to come close but could not walk
now i think of it every night
how i just could not get it right
ooh, next
next time you come my way
i'll know just what to say
Chorus:
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 2:
i started
to write you a letter
but i wanted
to be more clever
i wanted to get down and sweet talk you
hey, baby
but just like a roni you were too shy
but you weren't the only one, so was i
girl if
we should come close again
i know what i'll say then
Chorus
Oh, girl
one more chance
with you again
i will not let it go
ooh, babe
give me just one more chance
for love, love, love, love
Chorus
Can we talk for a minute
come on and talk to me baby
say i wanna know
well, come and tell me your name baby
i said talk to me for a minute
come on and talk for a minute
i wanna know, i wanna know
i wanna know your name
