Number 3, she was just like me, 

But I’ll never know why she left so suddenly 
Number 4 was a total bore 

She spent so many nights knocking at my door 
If it’s love by numbers 

I really feel less than zero 

It’s a one plus one kind of rumba 
It always ends below zero 
I’m way too old to give it a go 
I remember number 9 

I think she was dating a good friend of mine 
Number 7 was a match made in heaven 

She wanted too much and I couldn’t get even 
If it’s love by numbers 

I really feel less than zero 

It’s a one plus one kind of rumba 
It always ends below zero 
It’s way too cold for me to go 

I’m way too old to give it a go 

It’s far too late for me I know oh oh 
If it’s love by numbers 

I really feel less than zero 

It’s way too cold for me to go 
I’m way too old to give it a go 
From day one oh I always knew
 
You’d be on top of my list oh my number 2 
Where are you?
