| Lyrics:Jim Croce Music:Jim Croce | |
| Operator, oh could you help me place this call | |
| You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded | |
| She's livin' in L.A. | |
| With my best old ex-friend Ray | |
| A guy 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 | |
| But that's not the way it feels | |
| Operator, oh could you help me place this call | |
| 'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me | |
| There's something in my eye's | |
| You know it happens every time | |
| I think about the love that Ihought would save me | |
| 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 | |
| Operato,r oh let's forget about this call | |
| There's no one there I really wanted to talk you | |
| Thank you for your time | |
| Oh you've been so much more than kind | |
| And you can keep the dime | |
| 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 |
