[Verse 1]
Number 3, she was just like me
But I'll never know why she left so suddenly
Number 4 was a total bore
She spent so many nights knocking at my door

[Chorus]
If it's love by numbers
I really feel less than zero
It's a one plus one kind of rumba
It always ends below zero
I'm way too old to give it a go

[Verse 2]
I remember number 9
I think she was dating a good friend of mine
Number 7 was a match made in heaven
She wanted too much and I couldn't get even

[Chorus]
If it's love by numbers
I really feel less than zero
It's a one plus one kind of rumba
It always ends below zero
I'm way too old to give it a go
I'm way too old to give it a go
It's far too late for me I know oh oh

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
If it's love by numbers
I really feel less than zero
It's way too cold for me to go
I'm way too old to give it a go

[Outro]
From day one, oh I always knew
You'd be on top of my list, oh my number 2
Where are you?
