Operator, operator
|
I'm so glad that you rang my phone
|
Operator, operator
|
I'm so glad that you found me home
|
|
I can hear my long gone lover
|
I've waited such a long, long time
|
So please, operator put him on the line
|
I want him on the line, I want him on the line
|
I want him on the line
|
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
|
|
Operator, operator, there is static in my line
|
Did he say that his love was true?
|
Did he say that his love was mine?
|
Did he say he was coming home?
|
Did he say where he has been?
|
|
I can't hear a word he's saying
|
If you keep buttin' in, you keep buttin' in
|
You keep buttin' in
|
I wanna know if he's comin' home again
|
|
It shouldn't take this much time
|
To clear my mind, ease my mind
|
Oh operator, please get straight
|
It's unfair to make me wait any longer
|
My curiosity is stronger don't you know
|
That it's wrong, oh so wrong
|
|
Operator, operator, this is very strange
|
What is the hold up here? Doesn't he have the change
|
Oh, please operator, if he don't have another dime
|
Reverse the charge to me, put him on the line
|
I want him on the line, I want him on the line
|
|
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
|
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
|
