I Don't Know Your Name Lyrics - Indigo Girls

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
