One Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I touch you, baby?
Come here, baby, yeah
Can I?
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to
So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
Can I speak to you?
Make you feel good
I know you want me to
So sweet, goodness, love so sexy
Won't you walk over to me?
In the middle of the night you walk into my room
The streetlight silhouettes your face
And all of me consumes a special part of me
There's a lonely part of you
And in this we'll find happiness
In a little things called truth
Can I?
Can I touch you there?
Fingers through your hair
Baby, don't be scared
'Cuz I've got you
When you need to be
Hold you tenderly
Somethin' you won't forget
Somethin' you won't forget
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to
So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
Can I speak to you?
Make you feel good
I know you want me to
So sweet, goodness, love so sexy
Won't you walk over to me?
All the time I spent lookin' in your eyes
I don't feel time is wasted, I swear I am not lying
Lying here just to take advantage of you
Do you understand?
This is somethin' I wanna do
Can I?
Can I touch you there?
Fingers through your hair
Baby, don't be scared
'Cuz I've got you
When you need to be
Hold you tenderly
Somethin' you won't forget
Somethin' you won't forget, yeah
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to
So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
Can I speak to you?
Make you feel good
I know you want me to
So sweet, goodness, love so sexy
Won't you walk over to me?
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to
So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
Can I speak to you?
Make you feel good
I know you want me to
So sweet, goodness, love so sexy
Won't you walk over to me?
Come over here and take my hand
Don't be afraid, stand right here
Can I?
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to
So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
Can I speak to you?
Make you feel good
I know you want me to
So sweet, goodness, love so sexy
Won't you walk over to me?
Can I touch you?
Make you feel so good
I know you want me to




So sweet, my goodness, love so sexy
Won't you come and talk to me?
