Jim Croce - Operator Lyrics
Operator, oh could you help me place this callYou see the number on the matchbook is old and fadedShe's livin' in l.a.With my best old ex-friend rayA guy she said she knew well and sometimes hatedIsn't that the way they say it goesBut let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo i can call just to tell them i'm fine and to showI've overcome the blowI've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, oh could you help me place this call'cause i can't read the number that you just gave meThere's something in my eye'sYou know it happens every timeI think about the love that i thought would save meIsn't that the way they say it goesBut let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo i can call just to tell them i'm fine and to showI've overcome the blowI've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, oh let's forget about this callThere's no one there i really wanted to talk youThank you for your timeOh you've been so much more than kindAnd you can keep the dimeIsn't that the way they say it goesBut let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo i can call just to tell them i'm fine and to showI've overcome the blowI've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feels
