I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I’d sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He’d tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown

On tuolla keskellä kahdeksikkokin muiden numeroiden seurassa:

Seven angels got my number
Since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number
They're all telling me what to do
First angel says "Go on and love her"
Second angels says "Ain't you tired of being alone?"
Third angel says "Do the right thing, meat"
Fourth angels says "Check that other little angel walkin' on down the street"

Seven angels got my number
Since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number
They're all telling me what to do
Fifth angels says "Don't worry
Love's waitin' 'round the corner for you, son"
Sixth angel says "You better hurry
It don't take long for the good to get gone"
Walkin' on wings all sexy and blue
Seventh angel says I'm a fool
I got seven angels calling on my pride
Seven devils crawling around inside
Seven angels tellin' me which way to turn
One kiss and my soul wanna burn

Seven angels got my number
Since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number
They're all telling me what to do
The earth's so lonely, sad and blue
And without love, your soul's dyin'
Sixth angel says to believe you
When you say you'll never leave me cryin'
Seventh angel says you're lyin'

Seven tears
I had a wife, I had a child
I had a home up on a hill
Had a good life for seven years
Now all I’ve got is seven tears

Went down to see my gypsy man
He said, “Now son, I understand.”
When I said, “I want one for every year.
He tattooed on my face, these seven tears

Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears
I want one for every happy year
My baby’s gone, she’s gone, gone, gone
And I’ll cry forever, ever on

When I walk out into the lights of town
People see me comin’ and they gather round
They wanna know how I ended up here
With this tattoo on my face of seven tears

Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears
I want one for every happy year
My baby’s gone, she’s gone, gone, gone
And I’ll cry forever, ever on

Mmm, ooh<
