Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) - Jim Croce
Operator - oh, could you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Chorus:
Isn't 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 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 - 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 eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
Chorus
... 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
'cause you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime
Chorus
