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.
