Rikki Don't Lose That Number

by Walter Becker

on 20/20: Best of Dave Baker (2015)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We hear you're leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

[Chorus]
Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

[Verse 2]
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

[Chorus]
Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

[Outro]
Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number
