Lyrics

Oooh...yeah
I want you baby
I want to tell you how I want you baby yes I do
Right here and now listen up

I see you walk in the room, you've got a way of walkin'
You've got it going on my brother, oh you're looking so damn fine
I'm having fantasies of when we get to talkin'
Baby can I be your lover?
Come on boy give me a sign

Turn around, take a look at me
There's a chance I'm the one you're searchin' for
I see you with some other girls
But I know that I can give you more
Come on baby, tell me one more day
Must feel you always wanna stay
I'd make you feel your needs
If you'd only notice me

*Would you give me some attention if you knew how much I want you?
Would you give me your affection if I told you what's on my mind?
Would you give me some attention if you knew how much I love you?
Could you show me some affection, tell me how to make you mine?

*Would you give me some attention if you knew how much I love you?
Could you show me some affection, tell me how to make you mine?
Would you give me some attention if you knew how much I love you?
Could you show me some affection, tell me how to make you mine?

Ooh there baby, lookin' tall and fine
Standing over there I wanna make you mine
(Would you give me some attention)
Lie, smooth, really strong
Come with me, it's where you belong

It's been a long long time
Since I felt this way
(Would you give me some attention)
You can't just leave baby
I'm begging you to stay!

* Repeat

Oooh...yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh baby I want you I want you baby
Let me tell you what I'm talking about

Song Connections / Remixes

• The beatmania IIDX 5th style Original Soundtracks album version of Give Me A Sign is longer than the game-size version.

Trivia

• Give Me A Sign is one of the very few beatmania IIDX songs to have a Double ANOTHER chart before it had a Single ANOTHER chart. A similar situation later occurred with Colors (radio edit).
  • In the arcade version of beatmania IIDX 5th style, when Give Me A Sign's Double+Battle ANOTHER was chosen, the notechart of サナ・モレッテ・ネ・エンテ was used, with the sound of Give Me A Sign playing [1]. This was fixed in beatmania IIDX 6th style, as the ANOTHER code was ignored when Double+Battle is played.
• Give Me A Sign was the only song revived in beatmania IIDX 8th style.
  • It received a Single ANOTHER chart upon its revival, which was also the only new chart added in beatmania IIDX 8th style.
• Before beatmania IIDX 8th style, Give Me A Sign's genre was TWO STEP.

2STEP has a cool image with a small number of sounds, but this time I attempted to make a lively 2STEP song with the game in mind.
The vocalist Red said, "There's so mamy words !!".
Yes, it seemed difficult because of the large number of words placed within the musical score.
But she sang it perfectly. As I expected!!
Please enjoy it!!
