I Don T Know Your Name lyrics

emily:
i walked into my favorite place one night
i`d just gotten back from a lecture
and i was feeling kind of uptight
and at the edge of the bar there was this guy
and you know i wasn`t really looking
but i caught him out of the corner of my eye
the next thing i know he was moving my way
i thought he wanted to talk
but this is what he had to say

amy:
i don`t know your name babe
but i want to be your lover
ya`ll sing it with me
i don`t know your name babe
but i want to be your lover
your lover your lover your lover
one time or another baby
i want to be your lover

emily:
i have to admit i was a little bit surprised
but i wasn`t really scared `cause i was twice his size
so i said to myself, "okay, i`ll play his game"
and when he turned to me
i gave him my name

amy:
i know your name babe
but i got to know your number
i know your name babe
but i got to know your number your number
i said one time or another baby
i`m gonna be your lover
yeah i wanna be your lover

emily:
well i said to myself "this guy is persistent
he`s a little bit dumb but at least he`s consistent"
i tried to talk cool but when we touched i went under
i made a quick decision and i gave him my number

amy:
i know your number
but i don`t know what to say babe

emily:
that`s ok

amy:
i know your number
your number babe
but i don`t know what to say to you
say to you say to you say to you darling
oh it don`t matter anyway no
i don`t talk when i`m make love to you babe
i don`t talk when i make love
i wanna be you lover
i wanna be you lover
lover lover
lover lover
lover lover

emily:
well you probably won`t believe this
but we got married one day
and i still don`t know if he speaks english
`cause he doesn`t have much to say
it`s a damn good thing i like lying around
we don`t make much conversation
but love makes sounds
you know what i`m talking about
ya`ll know what i`m talking about
well one thing i`ve learned from being in this state

emily and amy:
there are other ways to communicate

amy:
i don`t know your name babe
but i want to be your lover
don`t know your name babe
but i want to be your lover
your lover your lover your lover
one time or another baby
i`m gonna be your lover
