[Verse 1:]
Baby, you don't know it yet
Got a secret that I keep
I don't wanna spoil it but it's about you and me
Don't know if I can hold this in
Never felt like this before
Maybe if you're interested, I'll tell you more
[Pre-Chorus:]
You're like a song that's stuck inside my head, won't go away
I think about you every second and I just gotta say
[Chorus:]
Holla, holla
How can I get your attention, girl?
Holla, holla
Am I getting through to you?
Holla, holla
Maybe we got some potential, girl
Who knows what we could be
So holla back to me
[Verse 2:]
All you gotta do is talk to me
Doesn't matter what you got to say
I just really want to spend some time
Communicate
Tеll me that I'm not out of my mind
Tell me that you feel thе same way I do, baby
I gotta know, yeah
[Pre-Chorus:]
You're like a song that's stuck inside my head, won't go away
I think about you every second and I just gotta say
[Chorus:]
Holla, holla
How can I get your attention, girl?
Holla, holla
Am I getting through to you?
Holla, holla
Maybe we got some potential, girl
Who knows what we could be
(Oh yeah)
[Bridge:]
Take me into your arms
Let me into your world
'Cause I'm dying to see what's inside
I want to dream what you dream
I want to see what you see
And find out what makes you smile, girl
[Chorus:]
Holla, holla
How can I get your attention, girl?
Holla, holla
Oh yeah baby, baby, baby girl
(Am I getting through to you?)
Holla, holla
Maybe we got some potential, girl
Who knows what we could be
Oh, baby
[Outro:]
Holla, holla
Oh yeah
(How can I get your attention)
Holla, holla
Am I getting through to you?
Holla, holla
Maybe we got some potential, girl
Who knows what we could be
So holla back to me
