Take a Number

Eyes of emerald green, hints of blue

Lost inside in their gleam, my walls come down for you

Heart's on display, I can't play it coy

I feel you pull away, you say listen boy

I'm the talk of the town

And I'm gettin' around

Won't give it all to you

And I know that you're desperate

But don't hold your breath

I thought you always knew

I say I'm sorry my heart is what tears us apart

But you don't understand

I'm not begging for you

So back up, take a cue

If you wanna be my man

Take a number, get in line

The love I've got is hard to find

I'm sorry boy you're outta luck

You think you're cool but listen up

Take a number, wait your turn

And while you wait I hope you learn

That I'm the one you need to win

So take a number and try again

Saw you from down the hall, caught in your spell

It seemed like you would fall, as far as I could tell

Pushed through the crowd, our shoulders brushed

Maybe a spark I'd found, not just your average crush

But as days turned to weeks

I was crazed couldn't speak

Just waited by the phone

What I couldn't see then

Was that even a friend

Would give a dog a bone

And now it's clear as a crystal

I'm blowin' the whistle

There's no more time for games

Cuz if you're just a player

Then boy see ya later

Cuz real love is my aim

Take a number, get in line

The love I've got is hard to find

I'm sorry boy you're outta luck

You think you're cool but listen up

Take a number, wait your turn

And while you wait I hope you learn

That I'm the one you need to win

So take a number and try again

I won't deny love, won't deny pain

Don't care if it's tough, I won't back away

I won't conceal, I want what is real

No need to justify, what I feel inside

I won't deny love, won't deny pain

Don't care if it's tough, I won't back away

I won't conceal, I want what is real

No need to justify, what I feel inside

Take a number, get in line

The love I've got is hard to find

I'm sorry boy you're outta luck

You think you're cool but listen up

Take a number, wait your turn

And while you wait I hope you learn

That I'm the one you need to win

So take a number and try again

Take a number, get in line

The love I've got is hard to find

I'm sorry boy you're outta luck

You think you're cool but listen up

Take a number, wait your turn

And while you wait I hope you learn

That I'm the one you need to win

So take a number and try again
