I Wanna Know Your Name Lyrics
I wanna know your name.
Mmmm, mmmm.
Oooh, you look so good.
What's your name, baby?
I'd love ya if I could.
'Cause you're the kind of girl that I adore.
And you're the kind of girl I've been looking for.
Hey, where do you live?
Where do you live?
I'd like to take you home.
What do I have to give?
What do I have to give to call you on the phone?
'Cause you're the kind of girl that I adore.
And you're the kind of girl I've been looking for.
Girl, tell me your name. (I wanna know your name.)
Just tell me your name.
Please tell me your name. (I wanna know your name.)
Ain't never seen nothing as sweet as you
(I wanna know your name.)
Sitting there in that grey dress, pretty little thing. (I wanna know your name.)
'Cause I never believed in love at first sight.
But now I know that it's alright.
Girl, tell me your name. (I wanna know your name.)
Please tell me your name.
What's your name? (I wanna know your name.)
You look so good, you look so good.
(I wanna know your name.)
Girl, I ain't never seen nothing like this in my life.
(I wanna know your name.)
You just look like something I could settle down with.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is little Sonny.
I drive a little red Volkswagen.
I like to go horseback riding.
I like all kinds of sweets, cupcakes, currants and things like that.
This is why I can't help from noticing you, just a jazzy, jazzy old babe.
Come on, can we have this dance, something as groovy as this?
We've got to dance.
Lord have mercy, am I holding you too tight?
Oh, I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, 'scuse me.
Ain't gonna get too close.
When are you gonna tell me your name?
Please tell me your name.
I'm just going to have to grab you and hold you a little closer, 'cause i just got to.
Lord have mercy.
(I wanna know your name.) Girl, tell me your name.
Mmmm, hmmm. (I wanna know your name.)
Just hold me, just squeeze me.
(I wanna know your name.)
Girl, tell me your name, you sweet little thing you.
(I wanna know your name.) I could love ya, I could love ya,
I could love ya all night long, all night long, all night long.
Mmmm, hmmm.
Listen, what about if you could give me your phone number and call you one Saturday afternoon?
Perhaps, we'll go in town, have a bite to eat and then maybe we'll go in and take in a little movie.
And afterwards, I'll just drop you at the, huh, at the doorstep and give you a little kiss.
Oh, I just...There's so many things we can do if you just tell me your name.
I'm not even married. Are you married?
Girl, you gotta tell me, tell me, tell me your name.
(I wanna know your name.)
Just wait a minute, don't leave out the door.
(I wanna know your name.) Don't leave me.
Don't leave me unless you tell.
Just tell, just tell me, girl. (I wanna know your name.)
Just wait a minute, baby.
Mmmm, mmmm.
Oooh, you look so good.
What's your name, baby?
I'd love ya if I could.
'Cause you're the kind of girl that I adore.
And you're the kind of girl I've been looking for.
Where do you live?
I'd like to take you home.
What do I have to give?
What do I have to give to call you on the phone?
'Cause you're the kind of girl that I adore.
And you're the kind of girl I've been looking for.
Just tell me your name.
Please tell me your name. (I wanna know your name.)
Ain't never seen nothing as sweet as you
