Just Seven Numbers (Can Straighten Out My Life) Lyrics

Baby, baby, right now
Just seven numbers
Can straighten out my life
But my pride won't let me phone
Just seven numbers
Can get me through to you girl
Then I'll know you're really at home
You haven't been fair to me
Playing all that you see
You say you seen some of the act
I don't know that you're a comin' back
If I only knew where you were
Just seven numbers
Can straighten out my life
If my fingers would only turn the dial
Just seven numbers can make through girl
Just your hello would make me smile
I haven't been fair to myself
I'm tryin' to call somebody else
But after she said hi
I hung up the telephone line
If I only knew where you were
Just seven numbers
Can put me straight through to you
I never knew

Baby, wo-o-o
Just seven numbers
Can straighten out my life, oh girl
But my fingers won't turn the dial
Just seven numbers
Can put me through to you babe
Just your hello would make me smile

Just seven numbers
Just seven numbers,seven number

Reach Out I'll Be There

I Can't Help Myself

Baby I Need Your Lovin'

Ask The Lonely

Baby, wo-o-o
Just seven numbers
Can straighten out my life, oh girl
But my fingers won't turn the dial
Just seven numbers
Can put me through to you babe
Just your hello would make me smile

Just seven numbers
Just seven numbers,seven number

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
