Give 'Em My Number
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met you at a party, I gave you my number
You called me and we started goin' out
You'd call me every night, you moved into my life
And you called me to say you're movin' out.
Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for some advice
Tell 'em if they're lookin' like they need a love in their life, in their life
Give 'em my number.
Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number.
I don't know a lot of people, I'm a little shy
And seldom have any place to go
I can remember how it was when we were in love
How you used to call and tell me so.
Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for a dime
Before you let 'em dial another line
Give 'em my number.
Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number.
Any hour of the day or night, if you run into somebody
That looks like they'd be my type
Sad or blue, look anything like you
Give 'em my number.
Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number...
