Hurry up
And make
A move do something
I'm trying to leave
I'll admit
You got me
Jacked up thinking
You coming with me
Every time I see you
Look in my direction
I wanna find a way
To get you attention
Come over say something
I need to know
Chorus:
Why can't it be
Cuz I been looking
For that special guy
Why can't it be
You been looking
For that special girl
Baby why can't it be
Why
That you and me
You'll be all
That I'm thinking about
And I'll be all
All you dreaming of
See you looking
On the down low
You making me smile
I can think
About nothing else baby
You driving me wild
Wanna find a way
To get your attention
Baby look at me
In all of my dimensions
I need to know something
Tell me what's up
(Chorus)
Why couldn't we be more
Than just friends
Or we could chill
And just see what happens
We don't have all night
To drag this thing out
I gotta know from you
Say you want me to
(Chorus 2x)
