Albert Hammond - Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels lyrics

Names I know a man Who drowns his sorrows in the cheapest booze He knows he hasn't got that much to lose Wino Names I know a man Who speaks the language of another cla** He sees nothin' in the looking gla** Phony Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Tags I know a kid Somehow the ball game doesn't interest him Isn't this where it all begins? Sissy Tags She's twenty-five She wants a family and a house to run Her sister always was the pretty one Lonely Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Numbers There's no escape 'cause time will do a number on us all Your age is scrawled across the office wall Old man Labels You gave me mine At the time I took it casually Is that all you really thought of me? s**er Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Hm-hm-hm Names, tags, numbers, hm, labels
