You don't have my number We don't need any trouble now We don't need the city Who create all the culture now 'Cause I feel, I feel alive I feel, I feel alive I feel the streets are all pulling me down So people of the city I don't need your counsel now And I don't need that good advice 'Cause you don't have my lover's touch You don't have my number We don't need any trouble now Who create all the culture We can move beyond it now Now the wolves is knocking at my door Bang-bangin', ask for more Stand here we stand tall We could move beyond these walls I don't need your counsel And I don't need these city streets And I don't need that good advice 'Cause we can move beyond it now! You don't have my number We don't need any trouble now Create all the culture You don't have my lover's touch 'Cause I feel, I feel alive I feel, I feel alive I feel the streets are not far from here Do you even hear me? Do you even know my name? Can we see the ocean now? (You don't have my lovers touch) Can you, can you hear me? Now you're really listening now 'Cause you don't have my number And we don't need each other now You can't steal my phone though 'Cause you don't have my lovers touch You don't have my number And I don't need no one now And I don't need these city streets Who create all the culture now
