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 liked 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 Mr 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 see you again? Oh girl I wonder?

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 its time to go
