I was hanging with some friends of mine We were all having a real good time, yeah I saw a girl who was so very fine I started waving my hands, my arms, my head Got the nerve; found the words to say But to my surprise she was passing I mean it was strange `cause she just walked away She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me Now you're nervous with the fever Body beat and never quit I'm in heaven when I see her Won't you talk some little things? Hope she talk to me I can't hear (What cha gonna do?) You can't sit down like no one all by yourself (I just wanna talk to you) And nobody else, yeah I just wanna tell her She's the girl of my fantasies How we meet in my dreams every night it seems And how love can be, I wanna (love you) I'm gonna be (your love) It's not everyday we see the one That your heart's been likely dreaming of There's that look in her eyes, so I don't know why She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me She pretends she doesn't see me Leaves me standing in the rain `Cuz I know she wants to meet me She's just playing silly games I said girl (What cha gonna do?) Wanna show you a love that you just gotta see (I just wanna talk to you) But she won't talk to me And ooh, I'm telling everyone I'm not dreaming anymore `Cause I know she won't talk to me now And at least she can't say no And I'm going crazy Trying to make her notice me I go up, I get down, I turn all around She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me I said (Hey there baby) I said (Hey there girl) I said (Hey there baby) She won't talk to me She won't talk to me
