Lyrics

El Concinero (just wanna know your name)

Written by: Nathan Bishop/Greg Frankson

Every day she walks in and I can't help but look/
As she sips on her drink and she writes in her book/
She's a marvel above any natural laws/
Perfect without any flaws/
Now she'll never know that I find her so sweet/
So I pour all my love in the food that she eats/
All the words I would say but I can't even speak cause/
She don't know me

Chorus:

I just wanna know, I just wanna know, I just wanna know your name baby

I peer out of my window, its here I must stay/ cause I'm only one cook in a busy cafe/
I stare at her beauty, she don't look my way/
How can a queen love a cook anyway?/
My mind starts to dream of a fantasy life/
Where the cook is the king and this queen is my wife, but I know that I won't feel the warmth of her light 'cause...
She don't know me

Chorus..

Then she came in one day after coming for years/
Went to the bartender, leaned in his ear/
Gave him a gift, turned and left, my heart hit the depth of my chest/
The bartender turned and he gave it to me/
So I tore off the paper, so that I could see/
A book bound in leather, attached was a note/
And these were the words that she wrote:

Bridge
"senor por favor won't you please read this book of a young senorita in love with a cook, its called El concinero porque te quiero
There's one thing I'm dyin' to know...

Chorus out...

English translation of Spanish/English bridge -

"Sir. please read this book, of a young woman in love with a cook, its called "the cook" because I love you, there's one thing I'm dying to know"
