No glove, no love
You've been hearing this so many times
Don't you think it's time
To be a little more responsible
Too many people die these days, oh
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
Every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land...oh
You don't make the commitment but your body does
Even if you're dead silent
Chorus
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book (x3)
In the shadows of the night
A lady from the street corner talks to a customer
Money exchanges hands
That's the formality and she says
No glove, no love
You can pay me well, but it ain't worth my life
Too many people die these days
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
Every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land...oh
It ain't worth my life...oh
Number In The Book No glove, no love You've been hearing this so many times Don't you think it's time To be a little more responsible Too many people die these days, oh If you read the papers, check out the news The numbers are there Every number, represents a human being Who was a father, who was a mother A son or a daughter of this land...oh You don't make the commitment but your body does Even if you're dead silent Chorus You are here today, tomorrow you are gone You don't wanna be another number in the book (x3) In the shadows of the night A lady from the street corner talks to a customer Money exchanges hands That's the formality and she says No glove, no love You can pay me well, but it ain't worth my life Too many people die these days If you read the papers, check out the news The numbers are there Every number, represents a human being Who was a father, who was a mother A son or a daughter of this land...oh It ain't worth my life...oh Explain Request ×
