Rikki Dont Lose That Number Lyrics

Artist: Steely Dan

We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun,
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name.
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games I don't know
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

(Lead break)

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind.
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

Rikki don't lose that number
(Rikki don't lose that number)
Rikki don't lose that number

What a revolution in music this group, album, and song was. Aja was one of the first ten CDs I ever owned. This song, in all its glory, will never leave my mind.
