Lyrics
You Did a Number on Me
If it was just nine days wonder, I'll allow
The eight ball prob'ly would have moved by now
I was a natural bet from the day we met
Cause you did a number on me
I am six ways from Sunday, head over feet
Dizzy as a fever in the southern heat
I'm square, it's true, but I bend 'round you
Cause you did a number on me
I'm no crackerjack with figures, but I figured this one fine
Some do a dance that falls to chance, but I fell by design
If I had three wishes, I'd have you, you, you
I'd even forgive you for a trick or two
It's all said and done, you are the only one
Cause you did a number on me
