This is a lesbian love song about having a crush on someone, without even knowing her name! This is a common predicament, especially in groups of people whom you don’t know very well.
[Verse 1]
Lady, can I get you closer?
Lady, would you come on over?
I, think I'm ready this time
I think I like your hands in mine
Lady, I got a question for you
Lady, think that you're the answer
Hey, wanna see me later
Hey, wanna go to dinner?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna take you out
I wanna make you shake
I wanna drive you wild
But I probably should
[Chorus]
Know your name, when I finally get to, ooh
Be the one who gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
When I finally get to, ooh
Be the one who gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
[Post-Chorus]
It could be so good
But I probably should know you name
[Verse 2]
Lady, got a car and a weekend
Lady, do you feel what I'm feelin'?
I, got to see you again
I love the way that you walked in
Lady, I've been waiting for ya
Maybe, you've been waiting for me
Hey, wanna go out dancin'?
Hey, would you take a chance on me?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna take you out
I wanna make you shake (shake)
I wanna drive you wild
But I probably should
[Chorus]
Know your name, when I finally get to, ooh
Be the one who gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
When I finally get to, ooh
Be the one who gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
[Post-Chorus]
It could be so good
But I probably should know your name
[Bridge]
I know I'm a little delusional
A little unusual
But I've got a heart that wants your heart
I know, I'm a little obsessed with this
Only think about your kiss
I don't know why I don't know you yet
[Chorus 2]
When I finally get to
Be the one that gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
When I finally get to, ooh
Be the one who gets to
Hold you close in the night in the dark be your light
I should know your name
[Outro]
I know, I'm a little delusional
A little unusual
I've got a heart that wants your heart
I know I'm a little obsessed with this
Only think about your kiss
Don't know why
I should know your name
