[Verse 1:] 

It was like a Kodak, moment, frozen in time 

Say, lady, won't you show me a smile? 

Now wait a minute girl, you know you look fly 

The same way you did back in Overbrook High 

Truly divine, now show me a sign 

I want you to remember, but you won't even try 

C'mon 



Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 



Who woulda thought that our worlds would collide 

on the corner of 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'? 

But I won't deny, I'm lonely inside 

I know your face is in the crowd and she overlooks mine 

and though I've got pride, you know I won't lie 

The memory of you is still etched in my mind 

C'mon 



[Chorus: sung] 

I don't really think I know you 

But it's nice to see you 

Again, someone that I barely spoke to 

Yet today we seem like old friends 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 

I wonder if I told you 

We could go away some weekend 

Oh so many things to show you 

Here we go, no wait, that depends 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 



[Verse 2:] 

Should I even try takin' a risk? 

I see the years have been good to you, miss 

This is a trip, I should see you like this 

Downtown in the gallery, shoppin' for kits 

Though you don't know I exist, I can never forget 

Your perfect lips, and the curve of your hips 

But, yo 



Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 



So tell me, lady, what's been new in your life? 

Is there another lover doin' ya right? 

As for me, I've been around the world twice 

Sunsets in Morroco, seen Paris at night 

and many women for my every delight 

but for life's eternal journey 

You're the one I'd invite 

C'mon 



[Chorus: sung] 

Can I be the one you're close to? 

Would you tell me every secret? 

Someone that you gave your heart to? 

Baby, would you let me keep it? 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 

I just wanna get to know you 

Baby, now let down your defence 

I would never try to control you 

I'm the one you can feel free with 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 



[Verse 3:] 

I wanna be the only one that ya trust 

I hope ya know that this is more than a crush 

Now let me show you if you're not in a rush 

Exactly how much, I long for your touch 

You shoulda been the one that I took to the prom 

and those should be my children that are callin' you 'Mom' 

But, yo 



Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 



We would've made an incredible pair 

Now, if we can't enjoy a friendly affair 

Then every memory is meant to be shared 

From the length of ya hair, to the scent that ya wear 

They make me realise the chance that I missed 

For us to embrace and share a passionate kiss 

I waited ten years before askin' you this 

But, yo 



[Chorus: sung] 

Is there someone else you chose who 

Breaks your heart? Well you must leave him 

There is no more pain to go through 

Here I am, now love's in season 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care) 

Listen, if I were to hold you 

Would you hold me back, or even 

if we're not in love like old fools 

Baby, then we at least pretend 

Do you really care? (Yes, I really care)
