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
