| Operator, well could you help me place this call | |
| See, the number on the match book is old and faded | |
| She's living in L.A | |
| With my best old ex-friend Ray | |
| A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated | |
| 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 'em 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, well 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 'em 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 | |
| Ah, you've been so much more then 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 | |
