The Last Emperor - Do You Care? lyrics

[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 [Hook - 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 [Hook - 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 pa**ionate kiss I waited ten years before askin' you this But, yo [Hook - 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) [*Last Emperor and girl hum and sing to fade*]
