Heart On the Line (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 enough to keep my fingers wet

I've been actin' a fool and foolin' no one but myself

But now I'm ready to talk if you're willin' to hear

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

Operator, operator (ay look here, wait a minute)

Would you be so kind? (Uh-uh, you can't do that to me)

(What do you mean? Wait, I ain't got no more money) as to reconnect this number

(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
