lyrics

I saw you in the cornershop
The proprietor was stocking up
He gave a wink when he saw I'd noticed you
I'd just stepped out for cigarettes
Now my basket's full of all the rest
There was nothing else that I felt that I could do

What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We walked around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know

Then I saw you down the Bull and Bush
And with a nudge and a little push
I made my way across the bar to talk to you
You sat me down and you told me how
Everything you think is happening now
You're amazing and I'm so in love with you

What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We sat around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know

So I met you there and I took you home
Back to Willesden Green and we're all alone
But it wouldn't be right to try my luck with you
We sat and talked til morning light
You took my hand and said it's alright
We're together and we'll be forever the way we do

What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We sat around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know
