You give me something I can hold on to
I know you think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Yeah, sing it
Jenny, I got your number
I [laughs] need to make you mine
Jenny, don't change your number

Jenny, Jenny, you're the girl for me (Woo! Sing it!)
You don't know me, but you make me so [laughs] happy!
I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve (short-term memory loss)
I tried my imagination, but someone kept knockin' on the bathroom door
(I'm washin' my hands!)
Jenny - [laughs] - I'll be out in a minute!
I - What are you doing in there? Nothing!
Jenny, don't change your number

For a good time
