Numbers - Soft Cell

Numbers

Who’s the person that you woke up next to today

If you were any older

Then you’d know you’d have to pay your way

Well maybe you do already

But you make out they pay you

Did you ask yourself where did love go wrong with you?

Numbers

Don’t tell me your name I don’t want to know

And don’t forget to take all reminders when you go

Good things have to end

And I was never any good at saying goodbye

Because when I say goodbye a silly thing happens

And I always cry

Numbers

You’re looking so thin these days are you doing speed?

(No, numbers)

Have you seen your face?

Now you’re really going to seed

(Playing numbers)

Doing a nine to five in the day

And you never know their names

Because names make a person real

And there’s no real people in these games

Numbers

Pass them on and pass them by

Numbers

Never hold a good thing down for long

Numbers

Throw 'em away like Kleenex

Numbers

Pick them up and push them away

Numbers

Oh numbers

Until you wake up one day

And find that you’re a number

Body one, body two, body three, body four

Body one, body two, body three, body four

Numbers
