Everybody says "Be strong" but I just can't take it 

Every time I look at you, I feel funny inside, yeah 

I've been meaning to ask you this for such a long long time 



CHORUS: 

Can I get to know you better? 

Got to get to know you better 

Can I get to know you better tonight? 

I know that you think of me as just a friend 

But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah 

I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance 



Can I get to know you better? 

Got to get to know you better 

Can I get to know you better tonight? 

I know that you think of me as just a friend 

But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah 

I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance 



Now I don't think I can go another day without you (Without you) 

One little kiss will tell me what I wanna know 'bout you 

It ain't gonna hurt you; come on baby 



Can I get to know you better? 

Got to get to know you better 

Can I get to know you better tonight? 

I know that you think of me as just a friend 

But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah 

I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance 

(repeat and fade)
