Operator, Operator (1985)
Now I thought it over how it’s come to this
I must have lost all my common sense
I been chasing a dream running through my mind
So I called her up to say how I felt
Just before I could get it out
She was gone silence was on She didn’t hear a word she just hung up the phone
Operator, operator could you be so kind
As to reconnect this number I just spent my last dime
She’s got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
Well I was always just one step ahead
Just close enough to keep my fingers wet
I’ve been acting a fool and fooling no one but myself
But now I’m ready to talk if you’re willing to hear
The choice of words is my biggest fear
I would say anything (yes I would) just to change your mind
You’ve got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
Operator, operator could you be so kind
As to reconnect this number I just spent my last dime
She’s got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
(Hey now look here mama, wait a minute)
Operator, operator (Aw you can’t do that to me)
Could you be so kind (What do you mean? Wait! I ain’t got no more money!)
As to reconnect this number (Hold on, operator)
I just spent my last dime (Operator, uh, uh)
She’s got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
