Operator — текст песни (Jim Croce)

Operator, oh could you help me place this call

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

Shes livin in l.a.

With my best old ex-friend ray

A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated



Isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them Im fine and to show

Ive overcome the blow

Ive learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

But thats not the way it feels



Operator, oh could you help me place this call

cause I cant read the number that you just gave me

Theres something in my eyes

You know it happens every time

I think about the love that ithought would save me



Isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them Im fine and to show

Ive overcome the blow

Ive learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasnt real

But thats not the way it feels



Operato,r oh lets forget about this call

Theres no one there I really wanted to talk you

Thank you for your time

Oh youve been so much more than kind

And you can keep the dime



Isnt that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell them Im fine and to show

Ive overcome the blow

Ive learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasnt real

But thats not the way it feels
