She’s My Number One
words & music
A. Geringas/P. Rafelson/D.Ehrlich

VERSE ONE
I met her old man
He came to check me out
He had a serious job
And a serious bank account
He said, "What kind of man
Are you?"
How you make a living in this world?
Most of all
How do ya plan
To care for my little girl?"

PRE CHORUS 2
her father didn't like me cause I don't own
a single suit or tie
But when we sat down face to face
Thought I better give it my best try

CHORUS
I said, "I write songs"
like it wasn't just for fun
He said, "anything I heard of?
"On the Radio I hit a Home run...."

I said you are not my father
And I am not your son
But I wrote this song for your daughter
cos she´s my No.1

VERSE TWO
NOTE: NOT SURE THE SONG NEEDS TO TALK SO MUCH ABOUT HIS CAR
I wrote it(this) on a napkin
On the dashboard of my car
It (I) didn't have a radio (back) then
Half the time it wouldn't even start
I didn't REALLY have a melody
No, I didn't REALLY have a shot
But I poured (DRANK) myself into every word
And gave it everything I got

PRE-CHORUS #2
?

CHORUS
I said, "I write songs"
like it wasn't just for fun
He said, "anything I heard of?
You raggedy sun of a gun"
Just then the radio came on
And before my answer had begun
They were playing it loud and clear
It was my number one

BRIDGE
Music is my everything
It's my love and it's my life
But if you daughter let's me take her hand
It'll be second to my wife
Sir I've learned my lesson
And it's not that music lessened
But she's your first born girl
Music is my world
But she's my number one
