Operator, Operator

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

I must have lost all my common sense

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, 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 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

She's 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
