Operator, oh could you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She´s livin´ in l.a.
With my best old ex-friend ray
A 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 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 eye´s
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that i thought would save me

*chorus*

Operator, oh let´s forget about this call
There´s no one there i really wanted to talk you
Thank you for your time
Oh you´ve been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime

*chorus*
