You don't know my name
Hello? Can I speak to, to Michael?
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
My imagination's runnin' wild
And I swear
An' your cufflinks are shinin' all bright
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
Take notice of what's in front of you
Outside the restaurant one day
Will you ever know it?
Oh baby baby baby, I see us on our first date
Uh, I feel kinda silly doin' this but uh
Baby, baby, baby, from the day I saw you
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
And I swear it feels like ooh
And you'll never know how good it feels to have all of my affection
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
Wait, hold up, my cell phone's breakin' up, hold up

So, whatchu do? Oh, word? Yeah, that's interestin'
Yeah, well I see you on Wednesdays all the time
There's something special 'bout you, I must really like you
'Cause I think you're kinda sweet
Anyway you always got on some fly blue suit
It feels like ooh
Ya know, 'cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
But you don't know my name
I really really wanted to catch your eye
'Cause did I mention, you're 'bout to miss a good thing?
It feels like ooh
I'm sayin', he don't even know what he's doin' to me
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
Will you ever know it? No no no no no, no no
And you always order the special with the hot chocolate
Doin' more than I've ever done for anyone's attention
And I swear it baby
You don't know my name, no no no
Ooh baby, baby, baby, it's gettin' kind of crazy
Talkin' 'bout we gotta use water
You don't know my name
'Cause you are takin' over my mind
Baby, baby, I swear it's like ooh
You don't know my name
And when we had our first kiss, it happened on a Thursday
And it feels like ooh
It feels like ooh
You don't know my name
But I was wonderin' if maybe we could get together
'Cause my lovin' feels like ooh
And it feels like ooh
And it feels like ooh
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
Look man, I mean, I don't wanna waste your time but
I mean we could just go across the street to the park right here
Can you hear me now? Yeah
And my manager be trippin' and stuff
You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think
Well I'ma just have to go ahead and call this boy
And I swear on my mother and father it feels like, ooh ooh ooh
You're doin' everything that makes me smile
Oh yeah, Thursday's perfect, man
'Cause not a lotta guys are worth my time
Got me feelin' all crazy inside, I'm feelin' like, ow ooh
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know?)
I know girls don't usually do this
So, what day did you say?
But I always use some milk and cream for you
This is the waitress from the coffee house on 39th and Lennox
And you'll never get a chance to experience my lovin' ow
You don't know my name
You know, the one with the braids?
Ooh it set my soul on fire
Ooh baby baby baby, I can't wait for the first time
Oh hey, how you doin'?
You don't know my name oh
