Since I’ve been gone you 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 beg you
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number, yeah
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number, yeah
I’m sorry you couldn’t call me when you got home
But other fellows kept on callin’ while you were gone
See, I had the number changed
But I’m not acting strange
Welcome home
Nothing’s wrong
So I’m sayin'
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number (Oh, thank you)
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number, baby
Baby, baby, baby
For givin’ me your private number, baby {You can have it}
Thank you, baby {You can have it}
Baby, baby, baby
Thank you, baby {Any time you want it}
Thank you, baby {You can have my private number}
