operator

Ope  rator oh could you help me   place this ca  ll

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

She’s living in L.A. with my best old ex-f    riend Ra  y

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 her 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 ca  ll

Cause I can’t read the number that you just gave me

There’s something in my eye, you know it ha  ppens every ti  me

I think about the love that I thought would save me

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 her 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 let’s forget   abo    ut t    his ca  ll

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

Thank you for your time,

Cause you’ve been so   much more     th  an   k  in  d

You can keep the dime

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 her 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
