Oh girl, I'm glad to see you, oh face-to-face
Not a day of age, oh and by the way
I forgot to say how much I missed you, baby
And just like deja vu, I say
Running into you this way
I wanna keep you here
I gotta have you near
Can I have a kiss from you
Can I have a kiss from you
For old times' sake, oh baby
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
For old times' sake, no
Been a long time since I've called you mine
Sure would love to see us back together like we used to be
So let me take you out, so much to talk about
Like things we used to share and how to get it back, my dear
Just like deja vu, I say
Running into you this way
I wanna keep you here
I gotta have you near
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
For old times' sake, oh baby
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
Can I have a kiss from
(Can I have a kiss)
For old times' sake
Oh yeah, well yeah, well, well
Well, well, well, well
Can I, can I, can I, can I
