Operator
could you help me
place this call
You see the number
on the matchbook
is old and faded
She's living in L A
with my best old
ex friend ray
A guy she said
she knew well
but sometimes hated
Isn't that the way
they say it goes
But lets 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 overcome the blow
I 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
Theres something
in my eyes, you know
it happens everytime
I think about the love
that I thought would save me
Isn't that the way
they say it goes
But lets 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 overcome the blow
I 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, lets 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 then kind
You can keep the dime
But Isn't that the way
they say it goes
But lets 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 overcome the blow
I 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
