The Records Lyrics
"I Don't Remember Your Name"

I don't remember your name

There I was
In the middle of a crowd
At a party I didn't want to go to
There I was saying goodbye
To someone I never said hello to
Was he the man
Who shook my hand
At the door when I arrived
My girlfriend said
You're the host
Might as well be the Holy Ghost
Alive

I don't remember your name
I think it's best
That I level with you
I don't remember your name
I know the face
Won't you give me a clue
I don't remember your name
And I'll buy
You don't remember mine

There we were
In the middle of a room
At a hotel
Somewhere in the Westend
A man that I had not met before
Introduced me to my best friend
And nobody thinks
That I need a drink
But I'm not asking you to buy
And you may smoke a fat cigar
But if you don't show me
To the bar I'll die

I don't remember your name
I think it's best
That I level with you
I don't remember your name
I know the face
Won't you give me a clue
I don't remember your name
And I'll buy
You don't remember mine

What was his name
I bet that I don't get it right
I can't think of his face
Keeps changing in the light
Looks like a Dave
I'm sure I met a Dave tonight
Tonight, tonight
I don't remember your name

I don't remember your name
I think it's best
That I level with you
I don't remember your name
I know the face
Won't you give me a clue
I don't remember your name
And I'll buy
You don't remember mine
