Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I've been watchin you
For a very long time (mmmm)
And there's no doubt in my mind
That your not the one for me can't you see
And I don't want to seem pushy
But listen, girl, your body sayin'
Something to me, girl
I may be only 15
But that don't really mean that I can't
Be here talkin' to you

[Chorus]
Will you let me know if you want me
To treat you to a picture show
(Don't you say no tonight)
And I want to know if you'll
Let me kiss you one time
Before I take you home
(The suspense is killing me, girl)
What yo name is can I be
The only one you be claimin'
What yo name is when you be out
With your girls you be bangin'
What yo name is can I be
The only one that you be kickin' it wit
What yo name is girl
Cause I know when I be spittin'
You be wit it, girl, what your name is (yeah)

Girl, all your friends may say
That I'm to young for you (yes they do)
But, baby, age ain't a thang
Cause I know what to do (yes I do)
I'll be your friend
And when your all alone
I talk to you all night
Til we fall asleep on the phone
So, baby, quit playin' games
You know I'm feelin' you,
You know you got it that way, girl

Will you let me know if you want
Me to treat you to a picture show
(Don't you say no tonight)
And I want to know if you'll let me
Kiss you one time
Before I take you home
(The suspense is killing me, girl)
What yo name is can I be
The only one you be claimin'
What yo name is when you be out
With your girls you be bangin'
What yo name is can I be
The only one that you be kickin' it wit
What yo name is, girl
Cause I know when I be spittin'
You be wit it, girl, what your name is (yeah)

Oh, girl, tell all your friends to go away
So far far away
Cause I want to spend my time with you
I want to chill with you,
Roll with you,
Be with you,
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
(ah yeah)

What yo name is can I be
The only one that you be claimin'
(This don't make no sense girl)
What yo name is when you be out
Wit your girls you be bangin'
(I need to know right now)
What yo name is can I be
The only one that you be kickin' it wit

What yo name is girl cause I know
When I be spittin' you be wit it, girl

Said I gotta know
Said I gotta know

Share my world with you, girl
Don't be afraid
Ignore my age cause
I'm just the man for you, baby (yeah)

[Chorus]

Would you tell me let me know it before I go
Would you tell me let me know it before I go
Would you tell me let me know it before I go
Would you tell me let me know it before I go
Before this track go off
Would you tell me let me know it before I go
would you tell me let me know it before I go
would you tell me let me know it before I go




would you tell me let me know it before I go
What yo name is
