[Intro]

Yeah, right

Yeah, uh-huh

Yeah, right

Yeah, turn the lights on

[Verse 1]

Maybe I forgot his birthday (Oops)

I meant to take him to lunch this afternoon

Now, he's pissed off in the worst way

I hope he gets over this attitude real soon

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess I did something so wrong

Cause my baby won't pick up the telephone

And he ain't even coming home

And it's been so long

[Chorus]

So, I said hello operator, hello

Can you put my baby on the line (My baby on the line, oh, oh)

So, we can get together later

Cause I really wanna spend some time

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call (Ooh)

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call (So, I said hello operator)

Can you put my baby on the line

[Verse 2]

I was shopping with my homegirls

Didn't expect him to act so immature

He be off in his own world

I thought my baby wasn't so insecure

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess I did something so wrong (I did something so wrong)

Cause my baby won't pick up the telephone (He won't even call me)

And he ain't even coming home

And it's been so long

[Chorus]

So, I said hello operator, hello (Hello operator)

Can you put my baby on the line (Can you put my baby on the line)

So, we can get together later (I, I wanna hear)

Cause I really wanna spend some time

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call (No-oh)

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call (So, I said hello operator)

Can you put my baby on the line (Can you put my baby on the line, yeah)

[Bridge]

Maybe I should send him some flowers or a card

Some candy or a letter cause his taking it so hard

I should take him on a shopping spree, let's ball out at the mall

Out wine him and dine him, I might as well have me a brawl

[Chorus]

So, I said hello operator, hello

Can you put my baby on the line

So, we can get together later

Cause I really wanna spend some time

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call

Cause he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't, he won't answer my call (So, I said hello operator)

Can you put my baby on the line
