![]() Pretzel Logic (1974) [ larger cover art ] |
We hear you're leaving, that's okay
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kinda scared yourself, you turned and ran
But if you have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
But if you have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number

Jiminy.... lame Just because it was played a billion times on the radio doesn't make it a lame song or choice. It is an awesome song from one of the most talented bands of the 70s. I welcome it here and thank Bill for "reintroducing" it to my palette. And I NEVER listen to the radio and bet that most RP listeners don't much either. ![]() |

PRETZEL LOGIC has so many stellar tracks- Parker's Band Monkey in Your Soul Pretzel Logic With a Gun let's hear 'em!!! But thanks for playing the Dan in the first place, Bill! ![]() Just ONE comment in more than seven years?? I wonder, does this reveal that it hasn't been aired since then? Or are RP listeners not touched at all by hearing it? |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Mar 06, 2011 - 10:36 Cool... it is sweet to hear this song! Rich with emotion... poetic... and incredible music as usual from Steely Dan... remember this song well... some great memories... sigh... love it... |
