Notes
Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher confirmed in a 2005 interview for Channel 4's Popworld and in numerous subsequent interviews that the Clarke-penned 'What's Your Name?' is their least favourite Depeche Mode song.
A working title for this song was "Pretty Boy" and Dave refers to the song by this title during several gigs during the autumn dates of the 1981 Tour.
Lyrics
What's Your Name
Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good
Knew you would
All the time I understood
Hey, you're such a pretty boy
Hey, you're such a pretty boy
Hey, you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty
Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name)
Feeling right
Just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight
All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go
Never know
All the things we need to show
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty (p-r-e, double-t-y)
