Operator sing and play along

Operator, could you help me place this call?

You see the number on the matchbook is old gave and faded.

She's living in L.

A. with my best old exfriend,

Ray, a guy a she said she knew well and sometimes hated.

Isn't that the way they say it goes?

But let's forget all that, and give me the number,

if you can find it, so I can call just to tell them 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 to just gave to.

me. ed.

There's something in my eyes;

you know it pens ev'ry time

I think a the love that I thought and would save me.
