Catch Your Name

Baby, I didn’t catch your name
Was it whispered once, my mind was detained
Saw you on the jetty with carousel eyes
You said you were ready for some new surprise
And then you weren’t there
A moment’s lapse savoir-faire!
I didn’t catch your name
A sad empty requiem 
For the things we might have done
A name that was hung on you
Is all that’s keeping me from getting through
Getting through to something new
Something new like loving you

And I I didn’t catch your name
Your voice was sweet my attention waned 
Was it Lana or Lori? Or sweet Linda Lou?
Darla or Dory? Or maybe just Sue 
Mary or Margda? Or something more fun?
Gimme a minute it’s on the tip of my tongue
So close so far away
I forgot or you didn’t say
And I I didn’t catch your name  
A sad empty requiem 
For the things we might have done
A name that was hung on you
Is all that’s keeping me from getting through
Getting through to something new
Something new like loving you

And I I didn’t catch your name
Baby I wanna know your name
Was it Jasmin or Jenny or maybe just Jane?
Ellen or Emma or maybe Elaine? 
Paula or Piper, maybe just Pam
Maybe something witchy like Hazel or Sam
But baby I wanna know your name
Yeah
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dooo
