Can We Talk

So many things I want to say
But I just don't be knowing how to properly say them, you know It's like
I saw you first ain't had the courage to speak
But I knew from jump that you was someone I wanted to meet
I had only told my friend, I was trying to keep it discreet
But my friend told a friend it became the word on the street
So I walk around and be catching your friends eyeing me
Sometimes feel like they spying, look at them and they start smiling
I know what's up they start waving deuces, I throw them up
Don't ask me how I know they talking about me, I know enough
I would go and ask them about you, but we ain't close enough
But I can tell they trying to set us up, cause I know the stuff
One of them came up to me, mentioning your name
Saying, how you feel about her she maybe could feel the same
Now I've been around the block a few times, I know the game
But every time I hear that question, it throws me off
I want to know from you if you really do feel the same
But first I need to hear from you, so
Can we talk baby
Can we talk, can we talk baby
Right, can we talk baby
Can we talk, can we talk baby
You know what I'm saying, I just wanna, I just wanna holla at you real quick
You know what I'm saying, if it's not too much
I just see you, you know what I'm saying
I don't know, I don't know
I was just waiting on the right time to step to you
Cause if it's destined to happen, I know I'll get to you
So I stay patient, observing, watching, and taking
As much time as I need to figure out what I'ma say when
I tell you what's on my mind and how when I first saw you around I thought you was fine
I mean nothing short of a dime
And if you willing, I'll love to take you out anytime
You know, tryna make you notice the pressure that I'm applying
But I'm nervous at the thought of me going and saying something
Think I'm bluffing, why you think all this time I ain't saying nothing
Being outgoing goes out the window when I'm confronting
Emotions I know I have you, frozen don't know what path to choose
Could either let you know risk rejection and then just look ahead
Or never say a thing and just wonder about what you would've said
But why sit and wonder, letting opportunities pass
That's why I went to you and asked
Uh, can we talk baby
Can we talk, can we talk baby
Right, can we talk baby
Yeah, can we talk, can we talk
Yeah
For a minute
Girl, I want to know your name
Yeah
I can say all this shit in a song
I doubt I'll ever say it to her in person
Well, she's gonna have to listen to the song I guess
I don't know
Ah, shit
