Operator, Operator

Now I thought it over, how it's come to this

I must have lost all my common sense

I've been 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, the silence was on

She didn't hear a word, she just hung up the phone

Operator, operator, would 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

But 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, would 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

Hey, look here, mom, wait a minute

Operator, operator (uh-uh, you can't do that to me)

Would you be so kind? (What do you mean?)

(Hey, I ain't got no more money) as to reconnect this number?

(Hold on, operator, operator) I just spent my last dime

(Uh-uh) she's got my love on hold, and my heart is on the line
