Operator, well could you help me place this call?See, the number on the matchbook is old and fadedShe's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend RayA guy she said she knew well and sometimes hatedIsn't that the way they say it goes?Well, let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to showI've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, could you help me place this call?Well, I can't read the number that you just gave meThere's something in my eyes, you know it happens every timeI think about a love that I thought would save meIsn't that the way they say it goes?Well, let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to showI've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, let's forget about this callYou see there's no one there I really wanted to talk toThank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kindAnd you can keep the dimeIsn't that the way they say it goes?Well, let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to showI've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feels
