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
