Know Your Name Lyrics


My Lady, My Lady, My lady[Verse 1:]
My lady you doing it
I can't withstand
You better slow it down,
Where I'm from, Dwele will make you forget your man
I'm trying to hold tight, but I can't help if he don't move you like you need to be
(ooh oh baby alright)(All I) wanna do (is) glide or slow motion straight to you
(Then) Figure a way to make you move (by)
Using my hands, using my dance
(All I) wanna know (is) when you get it down on the floor
(How) does your body move and make me grab your hand
And find out your name[Hook:]
Ah, my lady
Wanna know what you eat, what you speak, wanna know your name
Ah, my lady
Wanna know if you smoke, if you tote, wanna know your name
Ah, my lady
Wanna call you tonight but I don't even know your name

Ah, my lady
Wanna know how you feel about me gettin to know you[Verse 2:]
I got you step with me you need a ting, I
Got you, come with me, now I think its time
Wait it's so close
Let's move on to the after party,
I thinking that you stare at me for
Tonight there's no greater love, love
(All I) needed was
(one) line, one dance I thought just
(two) minutes ago you had a man
But (now) things have changed, I see nothing stays the same
(All I) wanna know (is) the quickest way to the back door
If you don't mind, I won't complain
I don't even know your name[Hook]You are (my lady), I wanna get to know you babe, said you are (my lady)
I need to know you in every way because you are (my lady)
You're my my my, I need to know you in a special way (my lady, my my)
So come on baby[Hook x2](ah) my lady, (ah) my lady, (ah) my lady, (ah) my lady...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978 in Detroit, Michigan), better known simply as Dwele, is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter and producer known for his work with Slum Village, J Dilla and Kanye West. After self-releasing the demo tape Rize in 2000, he released his debut studio album Subject in 2003 through Virgin Records, his second album Some Kinda followed in 2005 and his third studio album Sketches of a Man was released in 2008. His fourth studio album W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) was released in 2010.

Although Dwele has had somewhat of a short career as a commercially avaliable artist, he has a vast catalogue of material currently unreleased that die-hard fans revere as some of his best work, considerably superior to his material released as a signed artist that showcases the true depth of his artistic and diverse talent, displayed without constraint.

Gardner was raised on the west side of Detroit in a musical family. He played piano from the age of six, later taking up trumpet, bass and guitar. He was deeply affected by the fatal shooting of his father outside his home when he was age ten, later stating "I learned to put my emotions into music; it was my therapy."

He cites Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village. Gardner recorded a demo in his bedroom, called, The Rize, and sold it out of the trunk of his car. He had about 100 copies, which sold out within a week. He caught the ears of local heroes Slum Village and more specifically their world-renowned producer J Dilla. Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement. Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, who released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop. In a 2005 review in The Independent, his style was summed up: "Dwele's rooted in vintage soul but isn't stuck in the past, overly reverential or an exercise in pastiche - there's a major hip-hop edge which betrays his original incarnation as a rapper." A second album, Some Kinda..., followed in 2005. He then later signed with RT Music Group and KOCH records in March, 2008. He is coming out with his fourth album titled, W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) coming out June 29, 2010. Dwele was recently featured on the first single off of Kanye West's fifth studio album, Good Ass Job. The song was entitled "Power" and was leaked on May 28, 2010.
