Now I thought it over

How it's come to this

I must have lost all my common sense

I been chasin' a dream

Runnin' through my mind

So I called her up to say

How I felt

Just before I could

Get it out she was gone

The silence was on

She didn't hear a word

She just hung up the phone

Operator operator

Could you be so kind

As to reconnect this number

I just spent my last dime

She's got my love on hold

And my heart is on the line

Well I was always

Just one step ahead

Just close to keep my fingers wet

I been actin a fool

And foolin no one but myself

But now I'm ready to talk

If you're willing to hear

The choice of words is my biggest fear

I'd say anything yes I would

Just to change your mind

You've got my love on hold

And my heart is on the line

Operator operator

Could you be so kind

As to reconnect this number

I just spent my last dime

She's got my love on hold

And my heart is on the line

Operator operator

Could you be so kind

As to reconnect this number

I just spent my last dime

She's got my love on hold

And my heart is on the line

She's got my love on hold

And my heart is on the line
