Number Nine from Soul Steps by The Everettes

When I first saw him
He really cared
A tender hope of love in the air
But he didn’t want me (and I was fooled again)
He didn’t dare
Just when I was ready to share
(The love I wanted to give him)

Every time I open up my mind for someone new
I think he’d feel the same but once again it’s just a game

When all is said and done
I’ll be the one to stand my ground
When all the clouds are gone
I’ll stay on number nine

I’ve always trusted
I’m always true
The more I gave, the more I felt blue
Happy to stay here (on my own number nine)
Happy to move
As long as I’ll be keeping my groove
(All I want is something to feel good)

Every time I open up my life for something new
I think I’d be the same but then again it’s one more stain

When all is said and done
I’ll be the one to stand my ground
When all the clouds are gone
I’ll stay on number nine

I’ll watch the world go round
Until I see the golden sky
When all is said and done
I’ll be ready to settle down

When all is said and done
When all the clouds are gone
I’ll watch the world go round
Until I see the golden sky

When all is said and done
When all the clouds are gone
