0:00Operator - Jim Croce
0:16Operator well could you help me place this call
0:23See the number on the matchbook is old and faded
0:30She's living in la with my best old ex-friend ray
0:38A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
0:45Isn't that the way they say it goes well let's forget all that
0:52And give me the number if you can find it
0:56So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
1:02I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well
1:06I only wish my words could just convince myself
1:10That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
1:23Operator well could you help me place this call
1:30Well I can't read the number that you just gave me
1:37There's something in my eyes you know it happens every time
1:44I think about a love that I thought would save me
1:52Isn't that the way they say it goes well let's forget all that
1:58And give me the number if you can find it
2:02So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
2:08I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well
2:12I only wish my words could just convince myself
2:16That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
2:23No no no no - that's not the way it feels
2:29Operator well let's forget about this call
2:36There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
2:43Thank you for your time ah you've been so much more than kind
2:51And you can keep the dime
2:58Isn't that the way they say it goes well let's forget all that
3:05And give me the number if you can find it
3:08So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
3:14I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well
3:18I only wish my words could just convince myself
3:22That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
