GYou got my number, it's on Cadd9you to make the call
And I won't Gbother you at all, but if you Cadd9want to get together
GOnce or twice it would be Cadd9nice to see you, and I'll believe you
GEven if the doubt it hurts my mCadd9ind
FAnd we won't talk about our Emnames here
And there is Gno Fone who Emwants to find out
FAnd even if we've had a bEmit too much to drDink, we'll talk it out
GI know the feeling of being lCadd9ost and not being looked for
GI've made some plans with which life Cadd9couldn't disagree more
GI know direction and what it meCadd9ans to speed along
We've been prGovided with the means to make ourCadd9selves feel we belong
FAnd we won't talk about the tEmhings we should forget
GBut deep insiFde I'm not sure hEmow to do that yet
FTreat you like a cigarettEme... Djust put you out
