[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)
