Diana Krall - Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels) lyrics

Operator, well could you help
Me place this call?
You see the number on the match
Book is old and faded he's living in LA
With my best old ex-friend Rae
A girl he said he knew
Well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em 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, 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?
Well let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em 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
That's not the way it feels

Operator, well let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really
Wanted to talk to thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep a dime

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show i've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words
Would just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels no, no, no
That's not the way it feels no, no, no
