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
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
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)
