Il testo della Dont know your name

"don't know your name" is one of the few songs that the girls
Co-wrote. in this case, amy wrote the music, and emily wrote the
Words. the song originally appears on "blue food," in a live version
Complete with a little introduction...
Don't kno
W your name.
A: we want you to know before we do it that this does not
Promote... um, promis...promiscuous sex, or anything like that, in
Any way. we... this is sarcastic - we're putting down the meat
Market, basically.
E: it's not our philosoph
Y on life, or anything.
A: yeah. really.
E: of course, i wrote the words, you know, but...
A: that's right.
E (in mock drunken voice): i was so wasted, you know...
Audience member: what are you trying to say?
E (very straight): nothing. we aren't s
Aying a thing. we're
Just talking.
A: we're trying to say that, uh, we're not madonna.
(laughs.)
E: this is a dirty song. hope y'all like it.
(music begins.)
E: amy wrote the music.
-----------------------
E (spoken): i walked into my favor
Ite place one night; i just
Got back from a lecture, and i was feeling kind of uptight. and at
The end 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:
A (sung): i don't know your name, babe
But i want to be your lover.
I don't know your name, babe
But i want to be your lover.
One time or another, baby -
I want to be your lover.
E: 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, "ok, i'll play his game...," and when he turned to me, i gave
Him my name.
A: i know your
Name, babe
But i got to know your number.
I know your name, babe
But i got to know your number.
I said, one time or another, baby -
I'm gonna be your lover.
E: 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.
A: i know your number
But i don't know what to say, babe.
E (effeminately): that's ok...
A: i know y
Our number
But i don't know what to say, babe.
Oh, it don't matter anyway, no -
I don't talk when i'm making love to you
I wanna be you lover...
E: 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 - just love-making sounds. (aside:
You know what i'm talking about? y'all know what i'm talking about!)
Well, one thing i've learned from being in this state -
E & a (sung): there are other ways to communicate!
A: i don't know your name, babe
But i want to be your lover.
I don't know your name, babe
But i want to be your lover.
One time or a
Nother, baby -
I want to be your lover.
