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 warn and tender And soon it's gonna 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 But if my father was here I think I know who he'd blame Mother says that he just doesn't care to remember And all he thinks of me is another unwanted number Unwanted number What can she tell me what can I expect ? Of all the painful lessons that she learned she never earned respect What can she tell me? What can I believe? That she really didn't hear me cry Whenever he would leave There's a local game where they whisper my shame They said "he gave his child, he wouldn't give her his name They would torture me from January to September And I would give my love to another unwanted number Unwanted number Unwanted number I would give my love to another unwanted number Oh oh Unwanted number Unwanted number And I give my love and I give my love I give my love to another unwanted number Oh unwanted number Unwanted number And I give my love, no I give my love I give my love another unwanted number Unwanted number, unwanted number, unwanted number
