[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

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)
