Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You only call me if your feeling blue

You tell me I don't pay attention to you

But if you only knew just what I'm going through

You wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you, girl

When I call you I get stack of lies

You whip 'em out before you dry your eyes

I'm not a fruit machine

A 1960's dream

I bring the bet you list I bet you've ever seen, girl

[Verse 2]

Your not unreadable, your not unbeatable

I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far

Your not untouchable, not just another girl

I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that

[Verse 3]

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number

[Verse 4]

I had a dream I met another girl

But in the morning she was just a kick inside

I hope I'm gettin' through the interference too

My money's running out I don't know what to say now

The operator's saying cut the line

You want to call here for the very last time

You're only young at heart, but there's a time to start

Just realizing what I've got down here, girl

[Verse 5]

Your not unreadable, your not unbeatable

I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far

Your not untouchable, not just another girl

I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that

[Verse 6]

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number

[Verse 7]

Say don't you realize

Is there nothing left inside

Hey, did I get you wrong?

Say where has your number gone

[Verse 8]

You only call me if your feeling blue

You tell me I don't pay attention to you

But if you only knew just what I'm going through

You wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you, girl

[Verse 9]

Your not unreadable, your not unbeatable

I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far

Your not untouchable, not just another girl

I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that

[Verse 10]

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number written on the back of my hand

I've got your number
