Operator Songtext

Isn't that the way they say it goes?

So let's forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow 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, could you help me place this call?
I can't read the number that you just gave me

There's something in my eye

You know it happens every time

I think about the love that I thought would save me


Isn't that the way they say it goes?

So let's forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow 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, let's forget about this call

There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time

You've been so much more than kind

And you can keep the dime


Isn't that the way they say it goes?

So let's forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow 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
