It was very late in the discotheque
It was very late in the discotheque
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
I was feeling blue as I sometimes did
I turned around it was time to go
I turned around it was time to go
A face in the crowd a face I didn't know
A face in the crowd a face I didn't know
We got to talking for a little while
We got to talk for a little while
You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
Talking to strangers so late in the night
Talking to strangers so late in the night
These days you never know
These days you never know
Well I thought you were nice I even told you so
Well I thought you were nice I even told you so
But you smiled so shyly and said to me
But you smiled so shyly and said to me
I bet you say that to all the girls you meet
I bet you say that to all the girls you meet
But it isn't so
But it isn't so
Yes, the club was closing so we had to leave
Yes, the club was closing so we had to leave
We walked out together just a little ill at ease
We walked out together just a little ill at ease
I would have liked to have walked you home
I would have liked to have walked you home
But you said you'd catch the bus so I ended up alone
But you said you'd catch the bus so I ended up alone
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
It wasn't any longer than an hour or two
It wasn't any longer than an hour or two
That lonely street I said goodbye to you
That lonely street I said goodbye to you
You glanced back at me as I turned the corner
You glanced back at me as I turned the corner
Was the last I saw of you
Was the last I saw of you
I wanted to call, call out your name
I wanted to call, call out your name
But stupid pride and idiot shame
But stupid pride and idiot shame
Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
So you walked away, from Mr Cool
So you walked away, from Mr Cool
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I see you again? girl I wonder?
Will I see you again? girl I wonder?
It was very late in the discotheque
It was very late in the discotheque
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
I was feeling blue as I sometimes did
I thought you were nice I told you so
I thought you were nice I told you so
But I ended up alone
But I ended up alone
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? Girl, I wonder?
Will I ever see you again? Girl, I wonder?
It's so very late in the discotheque and I'm feeling blue
It's so very late in the discotheque and I'm feeling blue
As I always do
As I always do
I turn around 'cause its time to go
I turn around 'cause its time to go
