"Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)"
[00:16.17] Operator, well could you help me place this call
[00:22.65] See, the number on the match book is old and faded
[00:27.85] .
[00:30.07] She's living in L.A
[00:32.83] With my best old ex-friend Ray
[00:37.83] A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
[00:43.00] .
[00:45.23] But isn't that the way they say it goes
[00:49.77] Well let's forget all that
[00:51.93] And give me the number if you can find it
[00:55.56] So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show
[01:01.85] I've overcome the blow
[01:03.48] I've learned to take it well
[01:05.49] I only wish my words
[01:07.18] Could just convince myself
[01:09.43] That it just wasn't real
[01:12.44] But that's not the way it feels
[01:14.82] .
[01:23.00] Operator, well could you help me place this call
[01:29.51] 'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
[01:33.87] .
[01:36.88] There's something in my eyes
[01:39.49] You know it happens every time
[01:44.26] I think about the love that I thought would save me
[01:49.12] .
[01:51.83] But isn't that the way they say it goes
[01:56.15] Well let's forget all that
[01:58.41] And give me the number if you can find it
[02:02.16] So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show
[02:08.16] I've overcome the blow
[02:10.18] I've learned to take it well
[02:12.05] I only wish my words
[02:13.82] Could just convince myself
[02:15.70] That it just wasn't real
[02:18.70] But that's not the way it feels
[02:22.84] No, no, no, no
[02:26.53] That's not the way it feels
[02:29.04] Operator, well let's forget about this call
[02:36.00] There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
[02:40.14] .
[02:43.26] Thank you for your time
[02:45.90] Ah, you've been so much more than kind
[02:51.00] You can keep the dime
[02:53.89] .
[02:57.65] But isn't that the way they say it goes
[03:02.15] Well let's forget all that
[03:04.65] And give me the number if you can find it
[03:08.17] So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show
[03:14.15] I've overcome the blow
[03:16.13] I've learned to take it well
[03:17.89] I only wish my words
[03:19.68] Could just convince myself
[03:21.67] That it just wasn't real
[03:24.88] But that's not the way it feels
[03:27.75] (Outro)
