Now I thought it over how it's come to this I must have lost all my common sense Chasin' a dream runnin' through my mind So I called her up to say how I felt Just before I could get it out she was gone The silence was on She didn't hear a word she just hung up the phone Operator, operator, would 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 to keep my fingers wet I been actin a fool and foolin' 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'd say anything yes I would just to change your mind She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line Operator, operator, would 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 Operator, operator, would 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
