Lyrics The Magic Numbers

The Magic Numbers

Roy Orbison

This is a warning sign

For those reckless enough not to recognize

Another tear, it falls

If you surrender your desires against the wrecking ball

Pray I'm drunk enough, darling, not to feel no more

I came in alone and I'll die alone

You know I will, baby, yeah

Am I just running scared?

With Roy Orbison still ringing in my ears

Why don't you stay the night?

Hear some people wait a lifetime just to hear those lines

She dresses like a secret with her lips shut tight

Swears "I hope that there's good reason you're alone"

She says:

"Boy, don't you know that I've waited to love you"

It's easy if you let me just believe tonight

Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight

Well, I could tell you why

But to tell you the truth I ain't the telling kind

I thought I knew myself

How many times I look now I see someone else

The guilt is just a sickness that won't heal itself

If I could right each wrong in this life of song

You know I would, baby, yeah

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight

Together we can make it if we leave tonight

You pack a lot of punch but have you lost the fight?

Promises won't ever keep you warm at night

There's too much at stake, I've got too much to hide

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

It's easy, let me just believe tonight

It's easy, let me just believe tonight
