Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)

Operator could you help me place this call

You see the number on the match box is old and faded

Hes living in L A

With my best old ex friend ray

A girl he said he knew well but sometimes hated

Isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him Im fine
And to show I overcome the blow
I learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasnt real
But thats not the way it feels

Operator could you help me place this call

Cause I cant read the number that you just gave me

Theres something in my eyes

You know it happens everytime

I think about the love that I thought would save me

But isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him Im fine

And to show I overcome the blow
I learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasnt real
But thats not the way it feels

Thats not the way it feels

Operator lets forget about this call

Theres no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time

Youve been so much more than kind

You can keep the dime

But isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him Im fine
And to show I overcome the blow
I learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasnt real
But thats not the way it feels

No no no

Thats not the way it feels

No no no
