เนื้อเพลง Operator - Jim Croce

...Operator,
Well could you help
me place this call
See the number on
the matchbook is old
an faded
She's living in L.A
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
Solo 5 Bars.......
...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
