Composer(s): Gloria Jones; Pam Sawyer
Performer(s): The Four Tops



Baby baby, oh yeah, I my 
Just seven numbers can straighten out my life 
But my pride won't let me phone 
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl 
(Doot- do-do-do-do) 
Then I'll know you're really at home 

You haven't been fair to me 
Playin' on like jealousy 
You say you're seein' some other guy 
I don't know the truth from a lie 
If I only knew where you were (only knew) 

Just seven numbers can straighten out my life 
If my fingers would only turn the dial 
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl 
(Doot-do-do-do-do) 
Just your hello, make me smile 

I haven't been fair to myself 
I tried to call someone else 
But after she said 'hi' I hung up the telephone line 
If I only knew where you were (only knew) 
Just seven numbers can put me straight through to you 

ay, yeah.....baby.....whoa 
(Just seven numbers) has taken out my life, oh girl 
But my fingers don't turn the dial 
(Just seven numbers) can put me through to you, baby 
Just your hello would make me smile 
(Just seven numbers, seven numbers) 

(sound of telephone dialing-rotary!) 

Lift up the wire and turn the dial! 
(Seven numbers) 
You'd straighten out my life 
Whoa whoa, yeah baby, yeah 
(Just seven numbers) I hi-hi 
Yeah, I-hi-hi-hi
