Unwanted Number

You should hear the things that they say about me

They're saying "she's no better than she needed to be"

They don't know that he was kind and strong and tender

And now I'll never be another unwanted number

Unwanted number

How can I tell them?

How can I express?

How it felt to step out of this life and into his embrace

How can I tell them?

How can I explain?

All the love that I never had I found in him

There may be a stain on the family name

And if my father was here I think I know who he'd blame

Mama says that he just doesn't care to remember

And all he thinks of me is another unwanted number

Unwanted number

(how can I tell her?

How can I express?

How it felt when he came to my room

And helped me to undress

What can she tell me?

How can I believe

That she really didn't hear me cry

When he wouldn't leave? )

There's a local game where they whisper my shame

They say "he gave her his child

He wouldn't give her his name"

They will torture me from january till september

And soon there's going to be another unwanted number

Unwanted number

Unwanted number

And I will give my love to another unwanted number

Unwanted number
