ALICIA KEYS - YOU DON'T KNOW MY NAME
Baby, Baby, Baby
From The Day I Saw You
Really, Really Wanted To Catch Your Eye
Somethin' Special 'Bout You
I Must Really Like You
'Cause Not A Lot Of Guys Are Worth My Time, Ooh
Oh Baby, Baby, Baby
It's Getting Kinda Crazy
'Cause You Are Taking Over My Mind
And It Feels Like Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
I Swerar It Feels Like Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
(Round And Round And Round We Go, Will You Ever Know)
Oh, Baby, Baby, Baby
I See Us On Our First Date
Doing Everything That Makes Me Smile
When We Had Our First Kiss
It Happened On A Thursday
Ooh It Set My Soul On Fire
Ooh Baby, Baby, Baby
I Can't Wait For The First Time
My Imagination's Running Wild
It Feels Like Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
And I Swear It Baby, It Feels Like Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
(Round And Round And Round We Go, Will You Ever Know)
I'm Sayin', He Don't Even Know What He's Doin' To Me
Got Me Feelin' All Crazy Inside
I'm Feelin' Like, Oh
Doing Nothing I've Ever Done
For Anyone's Attention
Take Notice Of What's In Front Of You
'Cause Did I Mention (Oh)
You Bout' To Miss A Good Thing
And You'll Never Know How Good It Feels
To Have, All My Affection
And You'll Never Get A Chance To Experience, My Lovin' (Oh)
'Cause My Lovin' Feels Like
Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
And I Swear It Feels Like
Ooh
You Don't My Name
You Don't Know My Name
Baby, Baby I Swear
It's Like
Ooh
You Don't Know My Name
It Feels Like
Ooh
And You Don't My Name
And I Swear On My Mother And Father It Feels Like
Ooh
Ooh
Will You Ever Know?
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Harold Lilly, J R Bailey, Mel Kent, Ken Williams
Producer(s): Kanye West, Alicia Keys
Introducing This Song At A Concert In Manchester, England, In 2012, Alicia Keys Explained The Meaning: "It's About That Feeling You Have When You See Somebody That You Really, Really Like, Or At Least You Think You Do. And You're Trying To Figure Out, 'How Am I Supposed To Say Anything To This Person? How Am I Supposed To Introduce Myself And Get The Story Started?' It's Not An Easy Thing To Do. So Maybe You Could Say Something Like This."
This Was Produced And Co-Written By Kanye West, Who Had Previously Worked On Several Hits For Jay-Z, Including "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" And "'03 Bonnie And Clyde."
"You Don't Know My Name" Was The First Single Released From Keys' Second Album, The Diary Of Alicia Keys. Her First Album, Songs In A Minor, Was A Huge Hit And Helped Her Win The Grammy For Best New Artist.
This Samples Several Portions Of "Let Me Prove My Love To You," A 1975 Track From The Main Ingredient, Including The Vocal Background, The Piano, And Part Of What Sounds Like Alicia's Lead Going Into The Verses, "Doing More Than I've Ever Done For Anyone's Attention..." And "'Cause Did I Mention... You 'Bout To Miss A Good Thing."
