Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since I’ve been gone
You’ve had your number changed
But my love for you, girl
Still remains the same

Now I’ve been loving you
And you’ve been loving me so long
Baby, what’s wrong
So I’m begging

Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number

I'm sorry, you didn't call in
When you got home
Another fellows kept on calling
While you were gone

'Cause I've got your number changed
But I’m not acting strange
Welcome home, nothing’s wrong
So I beg you

Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number

So I'm begging baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number

Baby, baby, baby




You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
