Operator

Operator oh could you

Help me place this call

See the number on the matchbook

Is old and faded

Living in L A with

My best old ex-friend Ray

A Guy she said she knew well

And sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them

I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow

I've learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasn't real but

That's not the way it feels

Operator oh

Could you help me place this call

I can't read the number

That you just gave me

Something in my eyes

You know it happens every time

I think about the love

That I thought would save me

Isn't that the way they say it goes

Well let's forget all that

Give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them

I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow

I've learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasn't real

That's not the way it feels

Oh no no no that's not the way it feels

Operator oh let's forget about this call

There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time

Oh you've been so much more than kind

You can keep the dime

Isn't that the way they say it goes

Let's forget all that

Give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them

I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow

I've learned to take it well

I only wish my words

Could just convince myself

That it just wasn't real

That's not the way it feels
