Ten Tiny Numbers

(V1)


Take my number ─ I know you like what you see.


I can tell ─ the way you’re looking at me.


I’ve been asking around ─ I know who you are.


Take my number ─ I can take you to the stars.


 


(V2)


Take my number ─ call me when you can.


I’m looking at you ─ and I need a man.


You’re my number one ─ on long, long list.


Call or you won’t know ─ what you’ve missed.


 


(Chorus)


Just ten tiny numbers ─ dialed by you,


Will be proof ─ that I’m the real thing.


I may be sunbathing ─ by the pool,


In my red bikini ─ that’s only a string.


I’m small town dancer ─ a hot romancer,


Just ten tiny numbers - makes my telephone ring


 


(Middle Eight / Bridge Instrumental)


 


(V3)


Write my number down ─ before you go.


I hope you liked ─ my little teaser show.


Maybe I can be ­­─ your Southern Belle,


With just a little more ─ of my show and tell.


 


 (Chorus)


Just ten tiny numbers ─ dialed by you,


Will be proof ─ that I’m the real thing.


I may be sunbathing ─ by the pool,


In my red bikini ─ that’s only a string,


I’m small town dancer ─ a hot romancer,


Just ten tiny numbers - makes my telephone ring

Pretty cool tune, Gary.  I do have one small suggestion, though, in the chorus, and it would be a way that you could get the hook in twice.  


 


How about on the last line, instead of saying "so be sure - let my telephone ring", you could say something like "Just ten tiny numbers to make my telephone ring."         Just a thought.

Thanks Gwyneth tthat's very nice of you and.....Yes Dale, I like that idea very much.  The title / hook needs to be more prominent for sure. In there twice will sure help.  A big thanks to two cool people!

Gary, I think this is really good.  You have an original idea here.  I had to count on my fingers to see if there are really ten numbers in a phone number, and there are.
