I got your number right off the wall

Bristol 285 wont you give me a call

Well i was 15 thought i was hot

I didn't know if you'd see me or not

And that night as we stepped out

We were hand in hand

But my friends all seemed to know you

I couldn't understand



That everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name

But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game



You seemed so shy so all alone-y

Without any hint of ever being phony

But then the little things that came to light

Like the strange hours you worked late at night

And as we laid in your bed that night







You made me feel like a king

Then as i looked into your eyes

I heard that telephone ring



And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name

But nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game

Oh no, they don't want to know your game again



(instrumental)



And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name

Nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game



And everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name

But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game



(instrumental to the end...)
