Operator, Operator

Now I thought it over how it's come to this I must have lost all my common sense Chasing a dream running through my mind So I called her up to say how I felt Just before I could get it out She was gone, 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 enough to keep my fingers wet I've been acting a fool and fooling 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 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 Operator, operator (hey look here, wait a minute) Could you be so kind? (Uh-huh, you can't do that to me) As to reconnect this number (what do you mean? Wait, I ain't got no more money) (Hold on, operator) I just spent my last dime (operator, hey) She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
