So many signs, so many ways
It's a living thing, no need [bad word] The buzz will last for days

When you discover I'm just a man
Take it girl or leave it
Don't be reading out the label on the can

I got your number
I got your number
I got your number

I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend and your brother in love
But that's where the story ends

If you say jump, I'll do it with affection
But don't get [bad word] if I don't move
Too fast in your direction

It's that same old nonsense
That same old look
But now I'm turning back
And I can read you like a book

It all means nothing
Nothing at all
It's the same old business
Man, it drives me up the wall!

You made the potion too strong
I feel I'm going soft
I've been that way far too long
You see, now it's wearing off

So many times, so many days
It's a spiritual thing, that loving touch
I thought you'd be amazed

I like the distance, I like the space
The money's good, the rent is cheap
And I can read suspicion on your face
