about

A tongue in cheek ‘50’s homage closes the album with influences from some of Matt’s early heroes including Fats Domino and Eddie Cochrane. With a lyric which sees persistence in the pursuit of love rewarded, Baby Don’t Lose My Number features a Jonny Dyke boogie-woogie piano break flanked by bluesy guitar solos and a coda which echoes the song’s chorus refrain “you never know how this is going to end”.

lyrics

Baby Don’t Lose My Number (Taylor)

I caught your eye, it made you think
And then some guy bought you a drink
I wrote the number of my phone
You tore it up, I left alone
I think of you and it makes me stronger
Absence only makes the heart grow fonder

Baby, baby don’t you lose my number
Cos you never know, you never know
When you might need a friend
Baby, baby don’t you lose my number
Cos you never know
You never know how this is going to end

The days went by, I lived in hope
I didn’t cry, I didn’t mope
I saw you on the street one day
You crossed the road and ran away
I think of you and my heart beats faster
You and me could live so happy ever after

I sent you flowers, I wrote you cards
I poured my heart out, I worked so hard
I waited by the phone for you
Until it rang, a dream come true
Cos you are all I’m living for
And here you are a-knocking upon my door
