Here before me...
My plain soul,
Here in my hands
I hold the money that makes it play.

Well, I play these numbers, when I feel blue
Oh, yes at times.. when I, I am blue

Number Eight, twenty-nine,
She's gone, no she's mine
Number Eight, twenty-three,
To my heart she'll hold the key

Number Eight, seventeen,
Darlin' you, you are my queen
Oh yes at times when I, I feel blue

Number Eight, twenty-nine,
She's gone, no she's mine
Number Eight, twenty-three,
To my heart she'll hold the key

What hurts most of all,
Number Eight, twenty-two,
Where it says, Darlin' I love you

(falsetto) I Love...
