I've Got Your Number
Unlocking Secrets: Decoding the Meaning Behind Ella Fitzgerald's 'I've Got Your Number'
Lyrics
I've got your number
I have a good understanding of who you are.
I know you inside out
I know you thoroughly.
You ain't no Eagle Scout
You don't possess the qualities of an ideal or virtuous person.
You're all at sea
You are confused or disoriented.
Oh yes, you brag a lot
You boast frequently.
Wave your own flag a lot
You proudly emphasize your own identity or achievements.
But you're unsure a lot
Despite your outward confidence, you often feel uncertain.
You're a lot like me, oh
You share similarities with me.
I've got your number
I understand your character and motives.
And what you're looking for
I know what you desire or seek.
And what you're looking for
Repetition for emphasis on knowing the other person's desires.
Just suits me fine
The things you seek align well with what I desire.
We'll break the rules a lot
We will defy conventions and norms frequently.
We'll be damn fools a lot
We will act foolishly often.
But then why should we not
There is no reason why we shouldn't act this way.
How could we not combine when
We are destined to come together.
I've got your number
I understand you deeply.
And I've got the glow you've got
I am aware of the charm or attractiveness you possess.
I've got your number
Repetition for emphasis on having a deep understanding.
And more
I know more about you.
So go ahead and pick a number
Select any number between one and ten.
From one to ten
Your losing streak in games or challenges is ending.
You're losing streak is over
I am on a winning streak.
I can't win again
You cannot defeat me again.
And here's the punchline
A concluding remark or unexpected twist.
You've got mine
You have my understanding or attention.
