You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me You're the combination The secret word that unlocked my door Remedy to ease the pain You're every thing that I've been wishing for You keep the smile on my face My heart's in overdrive But when did I last try to get inside I've got nothing to say And that's the wasted time Just idle talking May you never do mistakes Love You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me I've got an unlisted telephone So any time I hear it ring It has to be you that's calling Don't have to hide behind an answering machine I'd like to feel you're in me For making shadows in the night And through the curtain lace Your light has seen me It shines bright as the sun You always leave a trace Of what I'm thinking You'll always be my Number one 'cause You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me Anytime you feel that we Should make a love connection You'll never find a busy sign The line is clear to my affection Private number, private number Private number You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me You got the key My private number Exclusively, there's no other half For me
