2-6-5-8-0 Lyrics by Kim Wilde

Kim Wilde (2020 Expanded & Remastered Edition)

1981

[Verse 1]
I watch a man sitting down the park
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers
He's got a pen and he circles an ad
It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers
2-6-5-8-0
[Verse 2]
She doesn't know but she's getting his call
He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way
She combs her hair doesn't worry at all
He could be mad but its just another pay day
[Chorus]
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me
[Verse 3]
She likes to live on the poor side of town
She's shacking down with a guy from West Guyana
The boys around always look at the ground
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha
[Chorus]
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me
[Bridge]
She doesn't have to make her money that way
She's such a pretty young girl
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay
They cry oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
This guy arrives looking scared as a rat
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees
She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother
[Chorus]
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me
[Outro]
(2-6-5-8-0)
(2-6-5-8-0)
(2-6-5-8-0)
Oh! 2-6-5-8-0 (what's your number?)
2-6-5-8-0 (oh I gotta hear it now)
2-6-5-8-0 Ohhhh..... dial it if you wanna know me
