Verse 1

Baby, baby, baby

From the day I saw you

I really, really wanna catch your eye

There's something special 'bout you

And I must really like you

'Cause not a lotta guys are worth my time, oh

Ooh, baby, baby, baby

It's gettin' kind of crazy

'Cause you are takin' over my mind

Chorus

And it feels like, ooh

But you don't know my name (No)

And I swear, it feels like, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

Verse 2

Oh, baby, baby, baby

I see us on our first date

You're doin' everything that makes me smile (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

And when we had our first kiss

It happened on a Thursday

Ooh, it set my soul on fire (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ooh, baby, baby, baby

I can't wait for the first time

My imagination's runnin' wild

Chorus

It feels like, ooh

But you don't know my name

And I swear it, baby, it feels like, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

Bridge

I'm sayin', he don't even know what he's doin' to me

Got me feelin' all crazy inside

I'm feelin like, "Ow!" (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Doin' more than I've ever done for anyone's attention

Take notice of what's in front of you

'Cause did I mention? (Ow!)

You're 'bout to miss a good thing

And you'll never know how good it feels to have all of my affection

And you'll never get a chance to experience my lovin' (Ow!)

Chorus

'Cause my lovin' feels like, ooh

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

And I swear it feels like, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?), oh

Post-Chorus

Will you ever know it?

No, no, no, no, no

No, no

Will you ever know it?

Spoken Interlude

"Well, I'm gonna have to just go ahead and call this boy

Hello? Can I speak to — to Michael?

Oh, hey, how you doin'?

Uh, I feel kinda silly doin' this, but, uh

This is the waitress from the coffee house on 39th and Lenox

You know, the one with the braids?

Yeah, well, I see you on Wednesdays all the time

You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think

And you always order the special, with the hot chocolate

And my manager be trippin' and stuff

Talkin' 'bout we gotta use water

But I always use some milk and cream for you

'Cause I think you're kinda sweet

Anyway, you always got on some fly blue suit

And your cuff links are shining all bright

So, whatchu do? Oh, word? Yeah, that's interesting

Look, man, I mean, I don't wanna waste your time, but

I know girls don't usually do this

But I was wondering if maybe we could get together

Outside the restaurant one day?

You know, 'cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes

And, I mean, we could just go across the street to the park, right here

Wait, hold up, my, my cell phone's breakin' up, hold up

Can you hear me now? Yeah

So, what day did you say?

Oh yeah, Thursday's perfect, man"

Chorus

And it feels like, ooh

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

Baby, baby, I swear, it's like, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you don't know my name, no, no, no

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

And it feels like, ooh

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

Outro

And I swear on my mother and father it feels like

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you don't know my name

('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)
