Come & Talk To Me
Jodeci Lyrics
For a long time
Haha
You look so good
Got my eyes on you
I've been watching you
For so very long
Trying to get my nerve built up
To be so strong
I really want to meet you
'Cause you're the kind of lady
With so much class
I get my thoughts together
For the very next day
But when I see you, lady
I forget what to say
Your eyes and hair
Such a beautiful tone
The way you dress and walk
It really turns me on, yeah
Ooh, you really turn me on
Come on, come on, come on
Come and talk to me
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Mm)
I really wanna know you (I wanna know you)
Come and talk to me (oh)
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Ooh yeah)
I really wanna know you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There you are again
With the same smile each day
I wanna know what it is
That makes me feel this way
I wish I could grab you
Tell you what it means to me
To see you walking my way
It really makes my day
Before I go to sleep and dream about you
I'm a single man, I hope that you are single too
Tomorrow, I'll say something to set my mind free
'Cause curiousity is buggin' the hell outta me, yeah, baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, baby
Come and talk to me (my baby)
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Girl)
I really wanna know you (and you know, you know, you know)
Come and talk to me (know, know, know, baby)
I really wanna meet you (I wanna meet you)
Can I talk to you?
I really wanna know you, baby (said, I wanna know you, baby)
You wanna tell me your name? (Wanna tell me your name)
Let me play your game, oh (let me play your game, yeah)
(I wanna know)
You wanna tell me your name (oh)
Let me play your game
I really want you baby (I wanna know you, baby)
Come and talk to me (come on, come on)
I really want, I really want, I really want, I really want to know you (I)
Can I talk to you? (Yeah, you know)
I really want, I really want, I really want, I really want to know you (I wanna to know you)
Come and talk to me (yes I do) (i really want you, baby)
I really want, I really want, I really want, I really want to know you
I wanna know you (you look so good to me)
Come and talk to me (yes you do, baby)
I really want, I really want, I really want (you look so fine)
I wanna know you
I wanna know (please tell me)
You wanna tell me your name? (Tell me your name)
Let me play your game (let me play your game)
Ah (oh)
I wanna know
You wanna tell me your name? (I wanna know you)
Let me play your game (let me know you)
Ah (oh)
I wanna know (I really want you)
You wanna tell me your name? (Come on, baby)
Let me play your game (Come on, baby) (I really want you)
I wanna know you

Jodeci is an American musical group, active from 1990 to 1996, whose repertoire included R&B, soul music, and new jack swing. The group consisted of two pairs of African-American brothers from Charlotte, North Carolina: the DeGrates (Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, the group founder/leader, and Dalvin DeGrate) and the Haileys (main lead singer Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and second lead singer Joel "Jo-Jo" Hailey). The group's name is a combination of the names of its members: Jo-Jo, DeVante and Dalvin, and K-Ci. Read Full BioJodeci is an American musical group, active from 1990 to 1996, whose repertoire included R&B, soul music, and new jack swing. The group consisted of two pairs of African-American brothers from Charlotte, North Carolina: the DeGrates (Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, the group founder/leader, and Dalvin DeGrate) and the Haileys (main lead singer Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and second lead singer Joel "Jo-Jo" Hailey). The group's name is a combination of the names of its members: Jo-Jo, DeVante and Dalvin, and K-Ci.
If Boyz II Men are portrayed as a clean-cut, wholesome R&B vocal group, then Jodeci's wild, sexual, bad-boy image represents the other side of the coin. Made up of two sets of brothers, the group's name is a consolidation of three members' aliases: "JoJo" Hailey, Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, and Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey; the group also includes Dalvin DeGrate. Natives of Charlotte, NC, all four members toured the South as young boys singing gospel music, even recording albums; both families belonged to the Pentecostal church, and the DeGrates' father was a minister. The boys were able to hear each other's gospel songs played on the radio, and eventually were introduced through girlfriends as teenagers. However, when they did meet, K-Ci was with a girl Dalvin had been dating, and a fight nearly broke out. The Hailey brothers and DeVante started hanging out together, partying and talking about making R&B records together, coming up with the name Jodeci at this time.
At age 16, DeVante ran away to Minneapolis to get a job in Prince's organization, but was refused. He returned to Charlotte, where he wrote a song and recorded JoJo singing it. The two planned on going to New York to shop the demo around by themselves, but both K-Ci and Dalvin decided to tag along at the last minute. By the time they got to New York, they had demo recordings of 29 songs, which they brought to the offices of Uptown Entertainment. They were almost rejected, but rapper Heavy D overheard the tape and talked Uptown president Andre Harrell into hearing the group. Harrell was impressed, and just like that, Jodeci signed a recording contract. In 1991, they recorded Forever My Lady, which featured the gold single "Come and Talk to Me" and went on to sell over three million copies. A minor feud resulted over the band's follow-up album, Diary of a Mad Band; Jodeci, unhappy with their treatment by Uptown, flirted with the idea of leaving for Dr. Dre's Death Row Records, which resulted in almost zero promotion for their new album. It didn't matter much, as Diary went platinum. The group's troubles got worse in 1993; DeVante and K-Ci were involved in an incident with a woman K-Ci met at a club and brought back to DeVante's apartment. The woman filed charges against the two, saying that K-Ci had threatened her and fondled her breast, while DeVante pointed a gun at her. Both pleaded guilty, but that wasn't all; shortly afterwards, DeVante's house was robbed of over 160,000 dollars in jewelry and clothes as the singer was held with guns in his mouth and at the back of his head.
Jodeci's third album, The Show, the After Party, the Hotel, was released in the summer of 1995. DeVante also was afforded the opportunity to work with Al Green, one of his idols, writing and producing the song "Could This Be the Love." ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

(Been watching you baby
For a long time
You look so good
Got my eyes on you)
I've been watching you
For so very long
Trying to get my nerve built up to be so strong
I really want to meet you
But I'm kind of scared
'Cause you're the kind of lady
With so much class
I get my thoughts together
For the very next day
But when I see you lady
I forget what to say

Ooh, you really turn me on
Come on, come on, come on
Come and talk to me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There you are again
With the same smile each day
I wanna know what it is that makes me feel this way
I wish I could grab you
Tell you what it means to me
To see you walking by my way
It really makes my day
Before I go to sleep and dream about you
I'm a single man
I hope that you are single too
Why do I seek
Something to set my mind free
'Cause curiousity is buggin' the hell outta me, baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, baby
Come and talk to me
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really wanna know you
Come and talk to me

Come and talk to me
I really want, I really want, I really want, I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want, I really want, I really want, I really want to know you
I want you know you
I wanna know
You wanna tell me your name (tell me your name)
I wanna know
I wanna know
You wanna tell me your name (I wanna know ya)
Let me play your game (let me in your game, ooh)
I wanna know
Let me play your game

I would sacrifice smart phones, social media, the Internet as we know it, to go back to this era, I swear. I don't mind going back to AOL lol, and pagers, and New jack swing.

I’m a white guy who loved new jack swing growing up and this is one of my all time favs. I went to a mixed high school and used to see this one black chick in the halls who was absolutely beautiful. This songs lyrics fit perfectly how I felt about her. We became friends eventually but never hooked up. Stayed in touch through fb over the years, both got married (me to black woman coincidentally), I have 2 kids. Last year she died of breast cancer at 42. She was a special soul-beautiful as always til her last day. Life flies by so fast-try to enjoy it

Beautiful glad you shared that man.
