I met you at a party, I gave you my number
You called me and we started going out
You called me every night till you moved into my life
And now you're callin' to say you're movin' out
Well, now that you won't have any use for me
It would be so nice, if somebody walks up to you
And they ask for some advice
Well, tell 'em they look a-like they need a love in their life
And give 'em my number
Give 'em my number
Tell 'em 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, yea-eah
Give 'em my number
I don't know a lot of people, I'm a little shy
And I seldom have anywhere to go
I been rememberin' how it was when we were in love
And how you used to call and tell me so
But now that you won't have any use for me
It would be so fine if somebody walks up to you
And they ask you for a dime
Before you let 'em dial that other line
Well, give 'em my number
Give 'em my number
Tell 'em 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
Well, give 'em my number, yea-eah
Give 'em my number
(Instrumental Break)
So any hour of the day or the night
If you run into somebody
And they look like they'd be my type
If they're sad and blue or look anything like you
Give 'em my number, yea-eah
So, give 'em my number
Give 'em my number
Tell 'em 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 thing if it was for you
Oh, darlin', yea-eah, give 'em my number
Give 'em my number, yea-eah
Give 'em my number, yeah, oh yeah
