Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Last night I, I saw you standing
And I started, started pretending
That 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 dreamed of you ever since
Now I build 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

[Verse 2]
I started to write you letters
But I wanted to be more clever
I wanted to get down and sweet talk you

Hey, baby

But just like a baby, I could not talk
And 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'll know what I'll say then, yeah

[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

[Bridge]
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
Can we talk?
I wanna talk to my baby
Come on and talk to me baby
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?
Girl, I want to know your name
Can we talk?
Come on and talk to me baby
See I wanna know
You better tell me your name baby
Can we talk for a minute?
I wanna know, I wanna know
I want to know your name
Can we talk for a minute?

If you were 13-25 years in the 90’s you experienced the greatest era of hip-hop and R&B!

[Souza]

Please, every time someone is listening to this song, like this comment, just so I can come back and enjoy this ANTHEM again 🛐

[jdovecity]

He was 16 years old when he recorded this record. Absolutely amazing vocal range

[ceecc]

I was watching the " can we talk" challenges and realized none of them sang it better than Tevin. He killed this song. Amazing vocal range and singing ability and at such a young age! That's why this song is classic.

[TruckerLifee]

2024 anyone ? This is real R&B. When music was at it’s height‼️

[GhostBoogieBaby]

I miss those days. Before cellphones. The genuine element of living in the moment, real friendships & real fun

[Breanna_monique]

Tevin Campbell was a teenager SANGING like a grown man. Bring this era of music back please. The talent was impeccable

[SMURFBOY]

2024 and this song still slaps what a timeless masterpiece dude.

[annewairimu]

No naked women twerking. No alcohol. No drugs. No guns. No vulgar language. No demonic rituals. No flossing of money. Just about love ❤.

Im from Syria (Middle East), born in 1998 and in love with this song and all 90’s songs by the Black Americans.. Feels super nostalgic to an era I was not able to live in, but somehow feel like I belonged to! ❤️❤️

[brianm.]

I work at a restaurant in downtown Chicago. This past Saturday I was working on the patio, and a car was waiting for a redlight, and his car was blasting this song. I'm not kidding that hearing this track legit changed the vibe on that patio for a hot minute! So many tables of customers were singing these lyrics and living in that precious moment! Thanks, Tevin!

[naiomiburnette]

The 70’s 80’s & 90’s music will never be defeated 🔥

[danyeleturner]

He sings it so EFFORTLESSLY. All the celebrities straining to sing on his level. Can't nobody touch this song but the LEGENDARY TEVIN!

[GlizzyGurlGossip]

🗣️ His vocals cannot be duplicated... Perfection

[mzlebanon]

2024 and I turned 40. These are the best times for music

[BlessedOne-jpcy]

So glad the #canwetalkchallenge has more people enjoying this hit again!

[rhondarostrickland]

You know a song is good when it's almost 30 yrs old and here we are still listening. Good music never dies or gets old!

[tshakur]

"But just like a baby, I could not talk. And I tried to come closer, but could not walk" 🔥

The '90s were a special time for music. Even the air looked different back then. I miss it so much.
