Game Number Nine Lyrics - Ray Charles

Y'all looka here... 

I said to my self late one night 

My line was gettin' rusty 

So I thought I'd try Game Number Nine 

'Cause it had always been my trusty... You see... 

Game Number Nine was the one where I'd smile 

And said some real clever things 

Like..."Where you been girl all of my life, 

Hey!... You ought to hear me sing" 

Now Game Number Nine had never failed me 

It was tried, tested and true 

And Game Number Nine was in action 

As I worked my game on you... Like this...

Now girl I don t mean no harm... But you know... 

You seemed kind of dumb at first 

And I thought a Nine just might be too strong 

You giggled and smiled and you didn't talk too much 

But I knew that wasn't gon' last too long 

You started asking me about my employment 

And did I have any traveling plans 

And where did I spend most of my nights 

'Cause you were lookin' for a full time man 

And there was so many things in life that you'd always wanted to do 

And of course a man with my intelligence it seemed to fit right nice with you 

Ah, you like that? 

Now girl, remember... 

Before to long you started askin' me about a pretty little ring you saw 

And I found myself downtown one day walking towards the jewelry store 

I said to the man "Hey!... I just want to look, 'cause I ain't ready to buy" 

And uh, just then you walked up behind me and you said 

"Can I please try it on for size?" 

Now it seemed like only yesterday 

That I worked Number Nine so sweet 

But it didn't turn out the way I planned it 

As I went down in defeat 

Oh I was scared... Oh, Oh 

Looka here... 

Now Nine had always been my best shot 

All my partners said it was tough 

They all knew about my Magic Nine 

But it was hard to copy my stuff 

Now maybe you can tell me honey 

Uh, just where Number Nine was weak 

Come on baby tell me, uh, before we go to sleep 

Now darling, I ain't lost a Game of Nine 

Since the year can remember when 

As I turned out the light you whispered to me... 

"I used a Number Ten" 

Yea you did, you know you did 

Ah hah, oh yea...
