I Know His Name (Only His Name)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know his name, but what's a name?
I can't love it, no I can't hug it
I've got his picture, but what's a picture?
It won't speak to me or ease my longing
He has so many girls that he can't the find time
No no no, even look at me, no no no no no
I dropped my handkerchief, hoping that he would see
But he didn't even look; he just walked on by me
My mind tells me to make a play
But I'm afraid that he'll never look my way
He has so many girls that he can't the find time
No no no, to even look at me, no no no no no
If I had him, I wouldn't want for anything
As long as I can wear, wear his wedding ring
I'll stop my dreaming and start some scheming
And I'll do anything just to make him my man
But he has so many girls that he can't the find time
No no no, even look at me, no no no no no
I know his name, but what's a name
Can't love it, can't hug it
I know his name, but what's a name
Can't love it, can't hug it
I know his name, but what's a name
Can't love it, can't hug it
I know his name
