it can't be right what i'm reading here
no one believes in all this stuff no more
our ideas don't see eye to eye
get your press with a pocketfull of lies

telling everybody every word is true
one day soon they're gonna see... through you

oh listen now

(chorus)
i got your number
you can fool some people some part of the time
i got your number
i aint ever gonna toe that particular partyline

there'll be some people gonna back you up
but don't come here for moral support
don't you ask no favours to me
i don't believe in charity

telling everybody you're wonderful
what are you gonna do when there's no one left to tell it to

so listen now

(chorus)
i got your number
you can fool some people some part of the time
i got your number
i aint ever gonna toe that particular partyline

You think you're so special, but you're only fooling
tell your lies to anyone but me

(solo)

You think you're so special, but you're only fooling
tell your lies to anyone but me

(chorus 3x)
i got your number
you can fool some people some part of the time
i got your number
i aint ever gonna toe that particular partyline
