Lyrics
Money and style and friends and work
Music and sex and art and scene
Boys and girls and drugs and dreams
That's you, girl
There's a lot to be said for a telephone line
I could call you up, I could make it so fine
But guilt and fear and jealousy
That's me, girl
I got her number on my wall
It's not as if I need someone
It's not as if I need someone
It's funny, she didn't like my shirt
So she told me then she kissed me like I'd never seen a flirt
I had not been courting, not for a while
You'd have never have known it, not by her smile
The coins, they're burning a hole in my pocket
Thoughts of her, they're burning a hole in my head
I could reach for the phone, I could flick it wide open
I could scroll down some number, I could wish I was dead
I got her number on my wall
It's not as if I need someone
It's not as if I need someone
If I treated her like she's number one
It's not what I was thinking of
It's not what I was thinking of
With an action I could be interrupting her time
If I pick up the phone and get her on the line
Is she making some coffee, washing her dishes
Playing her records, dreaming her wishes?
Now I'm running with my group, I'm feeling alright
Being chased by the rain like a hard day's night
I pass by the phone, I wonder if she's home
She's so cool, gotta have her, think I'll leave her alone
I got her number on my wall
It's not as if I need someone
It's not as if I need someone
If I treated her like she's number one
It's not what I was thinking of
It's not what I was thinking of
It's not what I was thinking of
It's not what I was thinking of
