Operator,
 Well could you help
 me place this call
 See the number on
 the matchbook is old
 an faded
 She's living in LA
 With my best
 old ex friend Ray
 Guy she said she knew
 well and sometimes hated
 But 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 over come 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,
 Well could you help
 me place this call
 Cause I can't read
 the number that you just
 gave me
 There's something in
 my eyes
 You know it happens
 every time
 I think about the love
 that I thought would
 save me
 But 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
 No, no, no, no,
 that's not the way
 it feels
 Operator,
 For let's forget
 about this call
 There's no one there
 I really wanted to talk to
 Thank you for your time
 Oh you've been so
 much more than kind
 You can keep the dime
 But 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...[start]../song/8/8292.MID[stop]
