Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)
Diana Krall

Operator, well could you help me place this call

See, the number on the match book is old and faded

She's living in L.A

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 then 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
