Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)

Operator, well could you help me place this call See the number on the matchbook is old and faded              She's living in L.A,  With my best old ex friend Ray Guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated              But 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, well could you help me place this call Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me              There's something in my eyes, You know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me              But 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 No, no, no, no        That's not the way it feels     Operator, let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to              Thank you for your time, Oh you've been so much more than kind You can keep the dime                    But 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
