Done as a songwriting exercise. SSG Y10W48. Use one of a given set of phrases as the opening line. One of these was "Don't I know you from somewhere?" Since I can't sing the male part, I started with "he said."

Story behind the song
Two people meet, but it turns out that they've met before. He doesn't remember. She does. It was a long time ago and he made her life miserable. Now he's attracted to her.
A true story.
Lyrics
verse:
He said: don't I know you from somewhere?
Haven't we met before?
You caught my eye on the stairs
As you went up to your floor.
chorus:
I want to get to know you again.
Fate has brought us together.
Just how long has it been?
It seems like forever.
verse:
I don't know if this will last.
But you've hit me like a twister.
Did I meet you in the past
Or do you have a younger sister?
verse:
I know that if we talk a while, you'll
Remember meeting me.
Where did you go to school?
Were you at the university?
chorus
instrumental
verse:
She said: you honestly don't remember me,
The way things used to be?
All those times you'd wait at my locker.
I'd turn and you'd trip me.
verse:
You used to bump me in the hall
Because I was easy prey.
You liked to see me fall.
That would make your day.
chorus:
I don't want to know you again,
Though fate has brought us together.
I don't care how long it's been.
No, not ever.
verse:
Yes, you know me from somewhere.
It was yesterday to me.
I can't believe that you would dare
To not remember me.
