[Verse 1]
Been watching you baby
For a long time
You look so good
Got my eyes on you
I've been watching you
For so very long
Trying to get my nerve built up to be so strong
I really want to meet you
But I'm kind of scared
Cause you're the kind of lady
With so much class
Get my thoughts together
For the very next day
But when I see you lady
I forget what to say
Your eyes and hair
Such a beautiful tone
The way you dress and walk
It really turns me on
Ooh, you really turn me on
Ooh, you really turn me on
Come on, come on, come on

[Chorus]
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you

[Verse 2]
There you are again
With the same smile each day
I wanna know what it is
That makes me feel this way
I wish I could grab you
Tell you what it means to me
To see you walking by my way
It really makes my day
Before I go to sleep and dream about you
I'm a single man
I hope that you are single too
Why do I seek
Something to set my mind free
Cause curiosity is bugging
The hell outta me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, baby

[Chorus]
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you

[Bridge]
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game

[Chorus]
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
Come and talk to me
I really want to meet you
Can I talk to you?
I really want to know you
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game
I wanna know, you wanna tell me your name
Let me play your game

Jodeci

Started in 1983, Jodeci is comprised of two sets of brothers—Cedric and Joel Hailey (also known as K-Ci and JoJo) and Donald and Dalvin Degrate (also known as DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin). Jodeci were once known as the “bad boys of R&B,” notable particularly because they were actually boys at the time, breaking out as teenagers in 1991 with their debut album and its title ballad, “Forever My Lady.” Natives of North Carolina, they were discovered by Heavy D, who overheard their demo when an A&R at Uptown was in the process of passing on them. Heavy D introduced Jodeci to Uptown founder Andre Harrell, who signed them after they sang in his office, and handed them off to his then-protégé Puff Daddy, who outfitted the group in dark shades and coordinating leather ensembles. The look, along with the streetwise soul found in songs like “Cry 4 U” and “Feenin” (as well as a few run-ins with the law) made them the antithesis to good-guy personas of then-peaking R&B superstars Boyz II Men. Devante, who along with Mr. Dalvin held down production duties for the group, founded the Swing Mob, a collective responsible for the discovery of musical geniuses like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Static Major. As a group, Jodeci would go on to release three critically-acclaimed album in the ‘90s, before disappearing from the limelight. K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in 1997, producing hit single “All My Life” and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. In March, the group released The Past, The Present, The Future, the first Jodeci album in two decades. Jodeci, if y'all reading this, where’d you go?
