Unwanted Number

Elvis Costello

You should hear the things that they say about me

They're saying "She's no better than she needed to be"

They don't know that he was kind and warm and tender

Soon it's gonna 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

But if my father was here I think I know who he'd blame

Mother says that he just doesn't care to remember

And all he thinks of me is another Unwanted Number

Unwanted Number

Why can't you tell me

Why can't I expect

Of all the painful lesson that you learned you never earned respect

Why can't you tell me

Why can't I believe

That you really really really cried, whenever he would leave

There's a local game where they whisper my shame

They say "He gave her his child

He wouldn't give her his name"

They will torture me from January to September

And I will give my love to another Unwanted Number

Unwanted Number

Unwanted Number

I will give my love to another unwanted number

Unwanted Number

Unwanted Number

And I will give my love

I will give my love

And I will give my love

I will give my love to another unwanted number

Unwanted number

Unwanted number

And I will give my love

I will give my love

And I will give my love

I will give my love to another unwanted number

Unwanted number

Unwanted number

Unwanted number
