What’s My Name? Lyrics

[Dialogue: Brandy, Monica]
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
Uh huh, sure you know, you look kinda familiar
Yeah, you do too but, umm, I just wanted to know do you know somebody name... you, you know his name
Oh, yeah definitely, I know his name
I just want to let you know that he's mine
Huh... No no, he's mine!

[Verse 1: Aaliyah, Britney Spears]
What would you do to get to me?
What would you say to have your way?
Would you give up or try again
(Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) oh baby, baby
Or would you be yourself or play your role
Tell all the boys or keep it low
If I say no, would you turn away
(Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) oh baby, baby

[Verse 2: Beyoncé, (Donna Summer), Monica & Brandy, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, (Aaliyah), The Mamas & the Papas]
I'm feelin’ sexy (Ooh…it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good)
The boy is mine, I'll be your naughty girl
(Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) oh baby, baby
I have no choice (Dust yourself off and try again, try again)
Stopped into a church

[Verse 3: Monica & Brandy, (Aaliyah), The Mamas & the Papas, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Maroon 5]
I'm sorry that you, seem to be confused (You can dust it off and try again, try again)
Well, I got down on my knees, I'll be your naughty girl

I have no choice (Dust yourself off and try again, try again)
The boy is mine
[Chorus: Eminem, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, (DMX), Snoop Dogg, Destiny’s Child]
Hi! My name is... (What?) My name is... (Who?) My name is...
You don't know my name,
I wanna hear you say my name (What’s my name?)
What’s my motherfucking name?
Hi! My name is... (What?) My name is... (Who?) My name is...
You don't know my name
Say my name, say my name (What’s my name?)

[Verse 4: Donna Summer, Monica & Brandy, Aaliyah]
I feel love, I feel love (I'm sorry that you seem to be confused)
Dust yourself off and try again, try again

[Verse 6: Aaliyah, The Mamas & the Papas, Britney Spears]
As if at first you don't succeed
And the sky is grey
Dust yourself off and try again, try again
As if at first you don't succeed
On a winter’s day
Dust yourself off and try again, try again
I did it again

[Verse 7: Aaliyah, The Mamas & the Papas, (Monica & Brandy), Britney Spears]
As if at first you don't succeed
And the sky is grey
(You seem to be confused)
California dreaming on such a winter
(The boy is mine)
On such a winter's
As if at first you don't succeed
On such a winter's
Dust yourself off and try again
Oh baby, baby, (The boy is mine)

[Chorus: Eminem, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, (DMX), Snoop Dogg, Destiny’s Child]
Hi! My name is... (What?) My name is... (Who?) My name is...
You don't know my name,
I wanna hear you say my name (What’s my name?)
What’s my motherfucking name?
Hi! My name is... (What?) My name is... (Who?) My name is...
You don't know my name
Say my name, say my name (What’s my name?)
What’s my motherfucking name?
[Outro: Peter Gabriel, (Irene Cara), Kanye West, (Lynyrd Skynyrd), (Jason Mraz), Phil Collins, (Monica), DMX]
I don’t remember (Do you remember my name?)
I don’t remember
I forgot your name (what’s your name?)
I don’t remember (Remember my name)
Cause I don’t remember (I know his name)
What’s my name?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
