Verse 1
Back in 97
Working as a DJ in a down low ven
Stood in the box
Think it was thirty minutes past ten
When you walked in
With a smile that blew my world away
Left me smiling to myself
Wondering what to say
But I got my girl at home
I don’t wanna leave her alone
But I'm feeling you
Like ive never felt before
And if I change the way that I look at you
Maybe you’d read my mind
Chorus
But I can’t say your name
Try to remember
What when in September
Called you my Algerian queen
Said where you have been?
When I was hookin up with the one who I thought was the girl of my dreams
Now you have a man beside you who is he
Can he treat you better than me?
He’s a friend of a friend; it would be the end so
I can’t say your name
Verse 2
The choice was made so I stayed
Not at the club but at the place where my heart was
How could I been so wrong
It only took a little time to realise
Thinking I was right but to my surprise
She was with another man
A few months down the line
Now there’s nothing that I can do
I just wanted to be true to both of you
But im the one to pay
I should have know what to do
Now split and alone while I could have been with you
Chorus
But I can’t say your name
Try to remember
What when in September
Called you my Algerian queen
Said where you have been?
When I was hookin up with the one who I thought was the girl of my dreams
Now you have a man beside you who is he
Can he treat you better than me?
He’s a friend of a friend; it would be the end so
I can’t say your name
Bridge
Sometimes I wonder
Where we would be
At the time in the club
You and me
If I chose not her
And now I ask myself
Was it a twist of fate?
I really wanna let you know
Chorus til fade.
