Lyrics:

Operator, well could you help me place this callSee the number on the matchbook is old an fadedShe's living in L.AWith my best old ex friend RayGuy she said she knew well and sometimes hated(CHORUS)But isn't that the way they say it goesBut let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to showI've overcome the blowI've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, well could you help me place this callCause I can't read the number that you just gave meThere's something in my eyesYou know it happens every timeI think about the love that I thought would save me(REPEAT CHORUS)No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feelsOperator, let's forget about this callThere's no one there I really wanted to talk toThank you for your timeOh you've been so much more than kindYou can keep the dime(REPEAT CHORUS)
