Jim Croce - Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels) lyrics
[Jim Croce - Operator That’s Not the Way It Feels lyrics]
Operator, well could you help
Me place this call?
See, the number on the match
Book is old and faded
She's living in LA with my
Best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew
Well and sometimes hated
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
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?
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, 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 the 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
Could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Me place this call?
See, the number on the match
Book is old and faded
She's living in LA with my
Best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew
Well and sometimes hated
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
Operator, well could you help
