Songtext Don't know your name Indigo Girls

Don't know your name

A: We want you to know before we do it that this does notpromote... um, promis...promiscuous sex, or anything like that, inany way. We... This is sarcastic - we're putting down the meatmarket, basically.
E: It's not our philosophy 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 saying a thing. We'rejust 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 favorite place one night; I justgot back from a lecture, and I was feeling kind of uptight. And atthe end of the bar, there was this guy, and, you know, I wasn'treally looking, but I caught him out of the corner of my eye. Thenext thing I know, he was moving my way - I thought he wanted totalk, 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 Iwasn't really scared, 'cause I was twice his size. So I said tomyself, "Ok, I'll play his game...," and when he turned to me, I gavehim my name.
A: I know yourname, 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 alittle bit dumb, but at least he's consistent." I tried to talkcool, 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 your 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 marriedone day. And I still don't know if he speaks English, 'cause hedoesn'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 another, baby -I want to be your lover
