Operator, Operator

Now I thought it over, how it's come to this
I must have lost all my common sense
I've been chasing a dream, running 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 acting a fool and fooling no one, but myself
But now I'm ready to talk if you're willing to hear
But choice of words is my biggest fear
I'd say anything, yes, I would, just to change your mind
You've 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

Hey, look here, mom, wait a minute
Operator, operator (uh-uh, you can't do that to me)
Would you be so kind? (What do you mean?)
(Hey, I ain't got no more money) as to reconnect this number?
(Hold on, operator, operator) I just spent my last dime
(Uh-uh) she's got my love on hold, and my heart is on the line
