Rikki Don't Lose That Number Lyrics

We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart
CHORUS:
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it...

    I read somewhere that this was about Rick Derringer who played on many middle period Dan albums.

    This song is about a guy that just had his first gay experience and it scared him. Now he has to figure out if he's gay and who he can talk to about it.

    Supposedly about a girl Becker and Fagen knew in college, but could also be about them asking Rick Derringer to be a permanent member of the Dan, which he passed on.
