Lyrics
NAME AND NUMBER
I've been hearing rumours are they fact or fantasy
They say you're midnight creeping about the time I go to sleep
Had my suspicions but never seen the truth
Are you leading a double life with a double cross
Who did you see where did you go last night?
Who were you with and how long were you in the moonlight
I've got my secret police on every corner
I want more than your name and number
We were talking yesterday and everything was fine
Now I try to call you oh no I get a busy line
I need information got to track you down
The future of my connection is hanging on your phone
Chorus
Instrumental
You can stop the masquerade and the secret rendezvous
Better get your midnight man on the next flight going south
Don't need conditions that would break the rules
Don't go playing with my heart, no don't treat me like a fool
Chorus
