I think I could like you, I already do
Feelings can grow but they can go away too
You're takin' my hand, lookin' into my eyes
Don't be in a rush to get me tonight

I feel somethin' happenin', could this be a spark?
To satisfy me, baby, gotta satisfy my heart

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first, I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?

You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

I think I could like you but I keep holdin' back
'Cause I can't seem to tell if you're fiction or fact
Show me you can laugh, show me you can cry
Show me who you really are deep down inside

Do you feel somethin' happenin'? Could this be for real?
I don't know right now but tonight will reveal

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first, I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?

You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

Bring me some flowers, conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
Then baby, if we do, ooh
I'll be givin' all my love to you, oh!

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first, I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?

You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl
