One more girl on the top of the Billboard
One more girl jumping in with the big boys
One more year and I'm still a no one
Waiting for my day in the sun
Chorus:
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
You filled me with Great Expectations
just to hide me in your basement
Did you get from me what you wanted...huh?
Did you lose my telephone number?
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
Just ask yourself, "Am I neglecting someone?"
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?One day you feel quite stable
The next you're comin' off the wall
But I think that you should warn me
If you start heading for a fall
I see the problem start
I watch the tension grow
I see you keeping it to yourself
And then instead of reaching conclusions
I see you reaching for something else
No one can stop you now
Tonight you're on the loose
No one to tell you how
Tonight you're on the loose
I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile
When the pace is too fast
And I think I won't last
You know where I'll be found
I'll be standing here beside myself
Getting ready for the final round
No one can stop me now
Tonight I'm on the loose
No one to tell me how
Tonight I'm on the loose
The time we feel most stable
Is the time we're comin' off the wall
And there's every indication
We may be heading for a fall
So let the problems start
And let the tension grow
We'll be keeping it to ourselves
And while they're busy reaching their conclusions
We'll be reaching for something else
No one can stop us now
Tonight we're on the loose
No one to tell us how
Tonight we're on the loose
