[Intro]
I know, I know
I guess you're used to people approaching you all the time
I guess most of the time people probably ask you out to lunch, to dinner, to the movies
I just wanna know if it's possible
That you and I could spend a little time together all alone
Why don't you think about it, okay?

[Verse 1]
I can't believe what I saw with my own two eyes
The girl made my world spin all around when she walked by
I want you to know that I love you so
Maybe we could spend a little time to get to know each other

[Chorus]
Can we spend some time together all alone?
Can we spend some time together all alone?

[Verse 2]
I know that so many guys approach you every day
A little time is all I need to prove the words I say, baby
I want you to know that I love you so
Maybe we can spend a little time to get to know each other

[Chorus]
Can we spend some time together all alone?
(You and me, can we?)
Can we spend some time together all alone?

[Bridge]
You're the girl every girl wants to be
You're the kind of girl that I want right here with me
Can't you see that I'm in love with you
Won't you please tell me how you feel about me?

[Chorus]
Can we spend some time together all alone
(You and me, you and me, baby)
Can we spend some time together all alone?

[Outro]
Everybody knows, girl, that I, I love you so
And I want you here with me
Baby, please, baby, baby please
Can we spend some time together all alone?
(Can we spend some time all alone, my baby? Oh)
