[Verse 1]
I wish that I could have you in my space
I wish that I could kiss and caress your face
How is it that I love you and I don't even know you?
Did you plant a seed inside of me, when you said hello?

[Chorus]
Hello darling, hello sweetheart
She said I'm lost and I don't know my way around
She said, "Hello darling, hello sweetheart"
Can you please show me which way to go?
She said, "Please show me which way to go"

[Verse 2]
If I changed my look would I have a chance?
Or does it seem I'm only used to only one night stands
My ideal romance is nothing more than a kiss in the wind
Never could understand anything about love, oh, 'til she said hello

[Chorus]
Hello darling, hello sweetheart
She said I'm lost and I don't know my way around
She said, "Hello darling, hello sweetheart"
Can you please show me which way to go?
She said, "Please show me which way to go"

[Bridge]
Notice me right before your eyes
Wanting you hidden love by surprise
Left undone, I can't give up until were one
Oh, oh
Notice me right before your eyes
Wanting you hidden love by surprise
Left undone, I can't give up, I can't give up until were one
She said, oh

[Chorus]
Hello darling, hello sweetheart
She said I'm lost and I don't know my way around
She said, "Hello darling, hello sweetheart"
Can you please show me which way to go?
She said, "Please show me which way to go"

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
