[Verse 1]
Eyes of emerald green
Hints of blue
Lost inside their beam
My walls come down for you
Hearts on display
I can’t play it coy
I feel you pull away
You say listen boy
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the talk of the town, and I’m gettin' around
Won’t give it all to you
And I know that you’re desperate, but don’t hold your breath
I thought you always knew
I say I’m sorry my heart is what tears us apart
But you don’t understand
I’m not begging for you so back up take a cue
If you wanna be my man
[Chorus]
Take a number; get in line
The love I’ve got is hard to find
I’m sorry boy you’re out of luck
You think you’re cool but listen up
Take a number; wait your turn
And while you wait I hope you’ll learn
That I’m thе one you need to win
So take a number and try again
[Verse 2]
Saw you from down thе hall
Caught in your spell
It seemed like you would fall
As far as I could tell
Pushed through the crowd
Our shoulders brushed
Baby a spark I found
Not just your average crush
[Pre-Chorus]
And as day turned to weeks
I was crazed couldn’t speak
Just waited by the phone
What I couldn’t see then
Was that even a friend
Would give a dog a bone
And now it’s clear as a crystal
I’m blowing the whistle
There’s no more time for games
Cause if you’re just a player
Then boy see you later
Cause real love is my aim
[Chorus]
Take a number; get in line
The love I’ve got is hard to find
I’m sorry boy you’re out of luck
You think you’re cool but listen up
Take a number; wait your turn
And while you wait I hope you’ll learn
That I’m the one you need to win
So take a number and try again
[Bridge x 2]
I won’t deny love
I won’t deny pain
Don’t care if it’s tough
I won’t back away
I won’t conceal
I want what is real
No need to justify
What I feel inside
[Chorus x 2]
Take a number; get in line
The love I’ve got is hard to find
I’m sorry boy you’re out of luck
You think you’re cool but listen up
Take a number; wait your turn
And while you wait I hope you’ll learn
That I’m the one you need to win
So take a number and try again
Eyes of emerald green
Hints of blue
Lost inside their beam
My walls come down for you
Hearts on display
I can’t play it coy
I feel you pull away
You say listen boy
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the talk of the town, and I’m gettin' around
Won’t give it all to you
And I know that you’re desperate, but don’t hold your breath

I say I’m sorry my heart is what tears us apart
But you don’t understand
