Can We Talk? Lyrics by The Whispers

Song Book Volume One - The Songs of Babyface

1997

[Intro]
Baby, all I wanna is talk to you, yeah
[Verse 1]
Last night I, I saw you standing
I started, started pretending
I knew you, and you knew me, too
And just like a Roni, you were too shy
But you weren't the only one 'cause so was I
[Pre-Chorus]
And I dreamed of you ever since
And now I built up my confidence
And 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 letters
But I wanted to be more clever
I wanted to sit down and sweet talk you, hey baby
But just like a baby I could not talk
And I tried to come closer but I could not walk
[Pre-Chorus]
And I think of it every night
How I just could not get it right
Oh, if we ever come close again
I know what I'll say then
[Chorus]
Can we talk for a minute?
(Can we talk? Baby, 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
[Bridge]
(Ooh, one more chance)
One more chance with you again
I will not let it go, oh, oh please
Just give me just one more chance for love
[Chorus]
Can we talk for a minute?
(Can we talk? Baby, can we talk for a minute?)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know, I wanna know your name, baby)
Can we talk for a minute?
(Can we talk for a minute?)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know, can you give me your name, baby)
Can we talk for a minute?
(Talk to me for a minute, come on and talk to me, baby)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know, I wanna know, wanna know name, girl)
Can we talk for a minute?
(I wanna get to know you better)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know)
Can we talk for a minute?
(Get to know you better; come on and talk to me, baby)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know, I wanna know your name, baby)
Can we talk for a minute?
(I wanna get to know, get to know you, baby)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna get to know, I wanna get to know you, girl)
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know, I wanna know your name)
Can we talk for a minute?
(Can we talk for a minute? Come on and talk just a minute)
Girl, I want to know your name
(I wanna know)
[Outro]
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
