The Magic Numbers Lyrics
The Mule
How many times must you call me in the morning before I wake up?
How many times must I look at other girls before we break up?
And how many times must you criticise every single thing that you do?
Before you
Before you let me know
Before you let me go
You really should've known
That I'm a no-good gambling man with the wrong hand
Who's been hurt so many times
Why don't you look him in the eye?
Oh, you won't see nothing at all
How many times must I stumble in drunk before you scold me
Why is it you have to turn out all the lights before you hold me?
And how many years of fears and falls that broke my balls
Well I guess you never told me
But before you let me know
Before you let me go
You really shouldn't know
That I'm a no-good used-up bruised and fucked-up boy
Who gets beat up just by looking at you
I'm a lonely soul
Lost every single thing I ever did own
But I never owned you
Go on and look him in the eye
Oh, you just might see him cry
Oh, you just might see him smile
One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
Oh, one more girl and I'll be fine
One more drink to take you off my mind
