Toby Lightman - Operator - original version lyrics

Operator, well could you help me place this call See the number on the matchbook is old and faded He's living in la with my ex best friend they say A girl he said he knew well and sometimes hated Isn't that the way they say it goes Let's forget all that and give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show I've over come the blow I've learned to take it well I only Wish my words could only 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 Well I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eyes you know it happens everytime I think about a love that I thought would save me Isn't that the way they say it goes Let's forget all that and give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show I've over come the blow I've learned to take it well I only Wish my words could only convince myself That it just wasn't realy but that's not the way it feels No no it'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 you Thank you for your time Oh you've been so much more than kind And you can keep the dime Isn't that the way they say it goes Let's forget all that and give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show I've over come the blow I've learned to take it well I only Wish my words could only convince myself That it just wasn't real
