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
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 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 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
