Tevin Campbell – Can We Talk? lyrics
Last night I,
I saw you standing,
And I started,
Started pretending,
I knew you and you knew me too,
And just like a roni,
You were too shy,
But you weren't the only,
'Cause so was I,
And I've dreamed of you ever since,
Now I've built up my confidence,
Girl next,
Next time you come my way,
I'll know just what to say,

Chorus:
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name,
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name

I started,
To write you letters,
But I wanted,
To be more clever,
I wanted to get down and sweet talk you, (yeah baby)
But just like a baby,
I could not talk
I tried to come closer but could not walk,
And I think of it every night,
How I just could not get it right,
Oh, if we ever come close again,
I know what I'll say then

Chorus:
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name,
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name

Oh girl, one more chance,
With you again,
I will not let it go,
Oh please give me just one more chance,
For love, love, love, love

Chorus:
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name,
Can we talk for a minute,
Girl I want to know your name

    1987 Callie B reggae record would argue strongly that Tevin and/or Babyface did not write this song in 1993, but stole lyrics and melody from Callie B's original.
    The same is true of Hold Me (Will You Be There) by Michael Jackson from 1991. Callie Bs 1987 version is basically the foundation of the MJ hit. I'd love to know more about how this happens! Long live Callie B
