Lyrics

Take a Number and Get in Line
© Michael Hanson Cantwell

Verse:
I'm sitting at the bar, got a heavy heart,
Thinking 'bout the past, trying to restart.
I see you looking, trying to catch my eye,
But boy, my heart's been broken, need a little time.

Pre-Chorus:
So take a number, boy, and get in line,
Hey, you're number nine on my mind.
Get me a glass of wine, and get back in line,
Maybe for some other time.

Chorus:
Take a number and get in line,
Right now it's not your time to shine.
Save up the sweet talk, don't waste your lines,
Wait your turn, boy, and you'll be fine.

Verse:
Don't be staring, checking out my behind,
Just give me your number, I'll call when it's time.
For now, just chill, don't cross the line,
Tonight's about me, and that's just fine.

Pre-Chorus:
So take a number, boy, and get in line,
Hey, you're number nine on my mind.
Get me a glass of wine, and get back in line,
Maybe for some other time.

Chorus:
Take a number and get in line,
Right now it's not your time to shine.
Save up the sweet talk, don't waste your lines,
Wait your turn, boy, and you'll be fine.

Bridge:
Maybe one day, you'll get your chance,
But tonight, I just want to dance.
Hold on tight, and don't lose hope,
When it's your turn, you'll know.

Chorus:
Take a number and get in line,
Right now it's not your time to shine.
Save up the sweet talk, don't waste your lines,
Wait your turn, boy, and you'll be fine.

Chorus:
Take a number and get in line,
Right now it's not your time to shine.
Save up the sweet talk, don't waste your lines,
Wait your turn, boy, and you'll be fine.

Outro:
Take a number, boy, and get in line,
Hey, you're number nine on my mind.
Get me a glass of wine, and get back in line,
Maybe for some other time.
