Operator Please

I don't know why I'm calling*

I don't know if I should

I know you're not a doctor

But you could do me some good

Operator please!

I need your sympathy

So talk to me

The ship I'm on is sinking

And I never learned to swim

I need someone to save me

Throw me a line

And pull me in

Operator please!

Won't you rescue me

I need your company


[Chorus:]

So tell me, so tell me

You will be the one who hears my lonely voice tonight

If someone calls me all they'll gets a busy line

'Til we say 'bye tell me that you will be mine mine mine

I'll make-believe that you like me too

I'm hung up on you

Here is my confession

Not acting like should

I think I've learned my lesson

And I feel misunderstood

Operator please!

I need you to comfort me

I'm down on my knees

I used to be so shady

I did some dirty deeds

I wasn't always faithful

I said, "A man has got his needs"

Operator please!

Don't leave me in the cold

And put my soul on hold

CHORUS

When this call is over

I'll be running through your mind

You might think I'm crazy

But you'll want me to ring another time

And I know, And you know

You'll call me down the line

Hung up on you, don’t know what to do

I'm hung up on you!

CHORUS
