Lyrics Below

1. Operator oh, could you help me place this call?
You see the number on the matchbook is old and
faded. She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend
Ray; the guy she said she knew well and sometimes
hated.

Chorus:

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 convice myself that it just
wasn't real. But that's not the way it feels.

2. Operator, ho 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.

3. 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. You
can keep the dime...
