He doesn't know her name
He's afraid to ask
She's like a soap actress
Whom he likes to see dream
She doesn't know his name
She's afraid to ask
And whether their red-faced promises
Were just the alcohol talking
He wants more
She does too
Perhaps that's why that day
He went to see her in the light of day
He likes her ways
She likes that he looks swell
The world pretends not to know
That he's not a boy to be trusted
She has a new smile
But is afraid to share it
He likes challenging her
More than he needs to
He's the one who knew
The easiest girls by heart
Had the sleaziest pickups
She's the one who stayed locked up at home
Afraid of being
Just another skirt-clad behind
Now he says he loves her
They sleep together, just to sleep
He likes her in pijamas
And she likes correcting him
Now she says she loves him
They sleep together, just to sleep
She likes him unarmed
And he, seeing her undress
And the old ladies in town
Whisper, "in my day, it wasn't like this"
Oh where else have you seen two lovers
Look so a fool
Before she's said yes
But he still remembers
To climb down those stairs
Work up the courage and ask
What the heck is your name?
She pretended to get mad
Offended by the incident
Gathered the courage to love him
And asked, "And you, what the heck is yours?"
Now he says he loves her
They sleep together, just to sleep
He likes her in pijamas
And she likes correcting him
Now she says she loves him
They sleep together, just to sleep
She likes him unarmed
And he, seeing her undress
And the old ladies in town
Whisper, "in my day, it wasn't like this"
Oh where else have you seen two lovers
Look so a fool
Before she's said yes
