Girl you know I'd love to know your name But I don't have the lines Unfortunately we're taught baby oh so tastelessly oh How could I waste your time Everybody knows girl I'm so in love with you It's no mystery Ooh, I just want to be your lover baby Forever naturally So tell me girl Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Girl you know I'm not the type that feels I'll win your love for sure But if my heart keeps pushing harder baby I'll fall right through your door It's not that I don't want you bad enough The truth is I'm afraid Sincerely telling you just what's been on my mind Maybe judgement day So tell me girl Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Baby girl, Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Everybody knows, oh oh How bad I want you girl Some people say, yay yay yay My mind is in another world Now baby won't you please please baby Let me give you all my love Cause I'm so afraid naturally Cause your heaven sent from above So tell me girl Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Girl can you help Can you help me? Baby can you help me? Oh woe woe, Can you help me? Baby can you help me?
