Can We Talk Lyrics

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
