Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Bridge 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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
