Never Knew Your Name

It was very late in the discotheque

I was feeling blue as I sometimes do

I turned around, it was time to go

A face in the crowd, a face I didn't know

We got to talking for a little while

You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do

Talking to strangers so late in the night

These days, you never know

Well, I thought you were nice, I even told you so

But you smiled so shyly and said to me

I bet you say that to all the girls you meet

But it isn't so

Yes, the club was closing, so we had to leave

We walked out together, just a little ill at ease

I would have like to have walked you home

But, you said you'd catch the bus, so I ended up alone

I never knew your name

Nor your telephone number

Will I ever see you again?

I wonder

It wasn't any longer than an hour or two

That lonely street, I said goodbye to you

You glanced back at me as I turned the corner

Was the last I saw of you

Oh, I wanted to call, call out your name

But stupid pride and idiot shame

Hesitated, scared of playing the fool

So, you walked away from Mister Cool

I never knew your name

Nor your telephone number

Will I ever see you again?

I wonder

No, I never knew your name

Nor your telephone number

Will I ever see you again?

Oh girl, I wonder

'Cause it was very late in the discotheque

I was feeling blue as I sometimes do

I thought you were nice, I told you so

But I ended up alone

No, I never knew your name

Nor your telephone number

Will I ever see you again?

Girl, I wonder

It's so very late in the discotheque

And I'm feeling blue, as I always do

I turn around 'cause it's time to go
