Song title: Elvis Costello - Unwanted Number

Edit By: 216.73.216.233

You should hear the things that they say about me
Theyre saying shes no better than she needed to be
They dont know that he was kind and strong and tender
And now Ill never be another unwanted number
Unwanted number
How can I tell them?
How can I express?
How it felt to step out of this life and into his embrace

How can I tell them?
How can I explain?
All the love that I never had I found in him

There may be a stain on the family name
And if my father was here I think I know who hed blame
Mama says that he just doesnt care to remember
And all he thinks of me is another unwanted number
Unwanted number

(how can I tell her?
How can I express?
How it felt when he came to my room
And helped me to undress
What can she tell me?
How can I believe
That she really didnt hear me cry
When he wouldnt leave? )

Theres a local game where they whisper my shame
They say he gave her his child
He wouldnt give her his name

They will torture me from january till september
And soon theres going to be another unwanted number
Unwanted number
Unwanted number

And I will give my love to another unwanted number
Unwanted number
Unwanted number
