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 |
