<br>
Operator, well could you help me place this call? <br>
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded. <br>
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray, <br>
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated. <br>
<br>
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that <br>
And give me the number if you can find it, <br>
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show <br>
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well -- <br>
I only wish my words could just convince myself <br>
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels. <br>
<br>
Operator, well could you help me place this call? <br>
Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me. <br>
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time -- <br>
I think about a love that I thought would save me. <br>
<br>
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that <br>
And give me the number if you can find it, <br>
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show <br>
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well -- <br>
I only wish my words could just convince myself <br>
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels. <br>
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels. <br>
<br>
Operator, well let's forget about this call -- <br>
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to. <br>
Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind. <br>
And you can keep the dime. <br>
<br>
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that <br>
And give me the number if you can find it, <br>
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show <br>
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well -- <br>
I only wish my words could just convince myself <br>
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels. <br>
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels. <br>
