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 it's time to go
