I Wanna Know Your Name
The Intruders Lyrics
I wanna know your name
Ooh, you look so good
I wanna know your name
What's your name, baby?
I'd love ya if I could
'Cause you're the kind of girl
That I adore
And you're the kind of girl
I've been looking for
Hey, where do you live
Where do you live, baby?
I'd like to take you home
What do I have to give?
What do I have to give?
To call you on the phone
'Cause you're the kind of girl
That I adore
And you're the kind of girl
I've been looking for
Girl, tell me your name (I wanna know your name)
Just tell me your name
Please tell me your name (I wanna know your name)
Ain't never seen nothin' as sweet as you (I wanna know your name)
Sitting there in that gray dress
You pretty little thing (I wanna know your name)
'Cause I never believed
In love at first sight
But now, I know
That it's alright
Girl, tell me your name (I wanna know your name)
Please tell me your name
What's your name? (I wanna know your name)
You look so good, you look so good
(I wanna know your name) girl, ain't never seen nothing like this in my life
(I wanna know your name) you just look like something I could settle down with
Let me introduce myself, my name is Little Sonny
I drive a little red Volkswagen
I like to go horseback riding
I like all kind of sweets, cupcakes, currants and things like that
This is why I can't help from noticing you
Just a jazzy, jazzy ol' babe
Come on, can I have this dance?
Something as groovy as this, we got to dance
Lord, have mercy
Am I holding you too tight, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, excuse me
Ain't gonna get too close
When are you going to tell me your name?
Please tell me your name
I'm just going to have to grab you and hold you a little closer
'Cause, I just got to, Lord, have mercy
(I wanna know your name) girl, tell me your name
(I wanna know your name) just hold me, just squeeze me
(I wanna know your name) girl, tell me your name, you sweet little thing, you
(I wanna know your name) I could love you, I could love you, I could love you
All night long, all night long, all night long
Listen, what about giving your phone number
And I call you one Saturday afternoon?
Perhaps we can go in town, have a little bite to eat
And then maybe, go and take a little movie?
And afterwards, I'll just drop you at the h-, at the doorstep
And give you a little kiss
Oh, I just, there's so many things that we could do if you just tell me your name
I'm not even married, are you married?
Girl, you gotta tell me, tell me, tell me your name (I wanna know your name)
Just wait a minute, don't leave out the door (I wanna know your name)
Don't leave me, don't leave me....

2) The Intruders is a former American soul music group most popular in the 1960s and 1970s. As one of the first groups to have hit songs under the direction of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, they had a major influence on the development of Philadelphia soul.
Formed around 1960, the group originally consisted of Sam "Little Sonny" Brown, Eugene "Bird" Daughtry, Phillip "Phil" Terry and Robert "Big Sonny" Edwards.[1] In 1969, Sam Brown was replaced as lead singer by Bobby Starr, only to rejoin the group in 1973.
In 1965, when songwriters and record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff first contemplated leaving the Cameo-Parkway record label to risk launching their own label, the vocalists on which they pinned all their hopes and venture capital were The Intruders. Like many other subsequent acts the duo produced, which includes the popular Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and The O'Jays, The Intruders had already developed a vocal sound that was both theirs and uniquely Philadelphian.
Brown, Daughtry, Terry and Edwards had been recording and performing one-off singles together since 1961, blending Philly's street corner doo-wop tradition with black gospel fervor. The result was neither as pop-infected as Motown, nor as funky and blues-inflected as Stax. The sound which The Intruders refined for the Excel, Gamble and Philadelphia International imprints reflected a different attitude than either Stax or Motown.
Gamble and Huff's success with The Intruders helped convince Columbia Records to grant them the money to launch Philadelphia International. Gamble and Huff acknowledged that their work with The Intruders was the very foundation of what they called "The Sound Of Philadelphia".
The Intruders, meanwhile, were undergoing some internal turmoil. When the group resurfaced on the 1970 Gamble LP, When We Get Married, lead singer Brown was replaced by nightclub singer, Bobby Starr (born Robert Ferguson). The title song, "When We Get Married" (R&B #8, Pop #45), a Dreamlovers cover, became a hit on the charts, as was the follow-up "(Win, Place Or Show) She's A Winner". Starr's tenure with the group was short-lived; Brown returned to the group in 1973 for the album Save The Children, which spawned The Intruders' last two big hits, "I'll Always Love My Mama" (R&B #6, Pop #36) and "I Wanna Know Your Name" (R&B #9, Pop #60).
"Cowboys To Girls" (R&B #1, Pop #6) remains the only chart topping single of their career. It was awarded an R.I.A.A. gold disc for one million sales in mid May 1968.[1] It was recently covered by the Hacienda Brothers. Other covers of their hit singles include Tiarra's cover of "Together", which was also done by Gladys Knight & The Pips on their Silk'N'Soul LP.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the West Coast, their music was popular among Latino, specifically Chicano, youth.[citation needed] Daughtry died of cancer in 1994, and Brown committed suicide in 1995. The Intruders continues to exist in 2 forms: The Philly Intruders, who appear on "the Big Show" DVD, and the Bobby Starr-led Intruders, who feature on the "My Music DVD hosted by Patti LaBelle on PBS.
