madness
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
