Operator, oh could you help me place this call
|
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
|
She's livin' 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 let's 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
|
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
|
There's something in my eye's
|
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
|
But let's 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
|
|
No no no no
|
Thats 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
|
And you can keep the dime
|
|
Isn't that the way they say it goes
|
But let's 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
