Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)

Operator, oh could you help me place this call

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

She`s livin` in L.A.

With my best old ex-friend Ray

A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

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

Operator, oh could you help me place this call

`Cause I can`t read the number that you just gave me

There`s something in my eye`s

You know it happens every time

I think about the love that I thought would save me

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

Thats not the way it feels

Operator oh 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

And you can keep the dime

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
