| Operator, well, could you help me place this call? | |
| See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded | |
| She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray | |
| 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 eyes, you know it happens every time | |
| I think about the love that I thought would save me | |
| But isn't that the way they say it goes? | |
| Well, 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, that's not the way it feels | |
| Operator, well, 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 | |
| But isn't that the way they say it goes? | |
| Well, 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 |
