In linguistics, a numeral is a member of a word class (or sometimes even a part of speech) designating numbers, such as the English word 'two' and the compound 'seventy-seven'.
Numerals may be attributive, as in two dogs, or pronominal, as in I saw two (of them).
Many words of different parts of speech indicate number or quantity. Quantifiers do not enumerate, or designate a specific number, but give another, often less specific, indication of amount. Examples are words such as every, most, least, some, etc. There are also number words which enumerate but are not a distinct part of speech, such as 'dozen', which is a noun, 'first', which is an adjective, or 'twice', which is an adverb. Numerals enumerate, but in addition have distinct grammatical behavior: when a numeral modifies a noun, it may replace the article: the/some dogs played in the park → twelve dogs played in the park. (Note that *dozen dogs played in the park is not grammatical, so 'dozen' is not a numeral.)
(Verse)
In the corner of her eye
Never did she see such thing
Her eyes that follow through
The though she could not catch him
He grew as wild as a child
And drain 'em in the fiber through his veins
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter, it's getting stronger
Why does it have to be
But boy ,she is seventeen
And I'm older and I should know better
And why is it all wasted
Lucky and will I beat
And I'm older and I should know better
(Verse)
In the corner of his eye
Never did he see such drum
Her confidence ,her stare
And though he could not touch her
He placed his hand on his chest
No girl before could beat it like she could
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter, it's getting stronger
Why does it have to be
But boy ,she is seventeen
And I'm older and I should know better
And why is it all wasted
Lucky and will I beat
And I'm older and I should know better
(Bridge)
Well that girl's my lucky charm
My mind won't pay no rent
Well that girl's my lucky charm
My mind won't pay no rent
He can't ,he can't,he can't,he can't,he can't
He can't ,he can't,he can't,he can't,he can't
