What's Your Name
Big Daddy Kane/Morcheeba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I think about you
My senses start to raise
And when I try to get you
You're gone without a trace
In my imagination
We 're doing things together
This is not reality
Nobody knows ya
But I've got to fight
Something about ya
Plays in my mind
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
I try to get to know you
And your identity
You're always in the distance
Don't seem to notice me
So much I want to tell you
How come you're never here?
Every time I try to stop you
You always disappear
Nobody knows ya
But I've got to fight
Something about ya
Plays in my mind
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
Listen, I put it down in a way that you have to just love
Mad xxxxxx, dance with me, so we passin' them both?
At the end of the night when I'm asking "What's up"
Track 6 of 50's album that's what's after the club
All the same when I run my game
Let me make it crystal clear to you
Baby jus what's my name?
I'm loved by all, duplicated by many
The B-I-G D-A double-D Y K any uh
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
What's your name,there's nothing wrong
In wanting you babe all night long
I can look but i can't touch
There's nothing wrong between xxxxx
There's nothing wrong between xxxxx
There's nothing wrong between xxxxx
There's nothing wrong between xxxxx
