I know I'm kinda fast, but I hate to waste time
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, I have to ask 'cause you're so fine
777-9311, I want to spend the night with you if that's alright
777-9311, ooh baby, please can I come tonight?
How can you be reached on a lonely night?
Baby, what's your phone number?
How can I get into you when I'm feeling right?
777-9311, I want to spend the night with you if that's alright
777-9311, ooh baby, please can I come tonight, jellybean?
Ain't nothin' worse than rejection
Feel a little better if you'd slapped my face
Hey, what's your phone number?
Can't you see the agony I'm goin' through?
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, it's getting hard baby, won't you let me love you, love you?
777-9311, I want to spend the night with you if that's alright
777-9311, ooh baby, please can I come tonight, ooh?
Hey baby, what's your phone number?
I know it sounds fast, but I ain't got all night
Come on baby, what's your phone number?
You know I got to be cooler than this cat you're sittin' with
I'll do you right, baby, come on!
Come on
