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 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.
[chorus]
[solo]
You tell yourself your not my kind,
But you don't even know your mind.
And you could have a change of heart.
[chorus]
Rikki don't lose that number
[Rikki don't lose that number]
Rikki don't lose that number

Night By Night
--------------
"It's a beggars life, " said the Queen of Spades
"But dont tell it to the poor man
'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill, the best he can"
Everywhere around me, I see Jealousy and Mayhem
Because no men have all their peace of mind, to carry them,
Well I don't really care, if its wrong or if its right
But until my Ship comes in, I live night by night
When the joker tried to tell me,
I could cut it in this rube town,
When he tried to hang that sign on me, I said "take it down"
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They don't do it with a shotgun
Yes, I'm cashin' in this ten-cent life, for another one
Well I ain't got the heart, to lose another fight,
So until my ship comes in, I live night by night
[instrumental solo]
Well I don't really care if it's wrong or if it's right
But until my ship comes in, I live night by night.
