Lyrics

BOY, TAKE A NUMBER!
Words & Music by Sam Ohanesian

There?s been a whole lot of tears
Since you walked out of my life
If a broken heart could kill
I?d have died a thousand times

Now you?re knocking on my door
Cause you want my love again
You say you?re here to stay this time
So let the fairytale begin

Well let me tell you where it starts?

Chorus: The line is forming on the right
Say bye-bye
Or take a number
And these boys are looking good
It?s understood
They want no other
You swear you?re gonna love me
Treat me like a queen bee...
Boy, take a number!

Well it?s a cold, hard fact
That you better learn to face
That little lost girl you knew
Has finally found her place

It?s about time you found yours

Chorus: The line is forming on the right
Say bye-bye
Or take a number
And these boys are looking good
It?s understood
They want no other
You say you?re gonna love me
You ain?t the one and only...
Boy, take a number!

Bridge: Well the difference in me
In case you didn?t see
Is a healthy dose of self-respect
I put a little faith
Back on my plate
I think it?s fairly evident

Now don?t make me say it again

The line is forming on the right
Say bye-bye
Or take a number
And these boys are looking good
It?s understood
They want no other
You swear you?re gonna love me
Treat me like a queen bee...
Boy, take a number!
