Operator

                                  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 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 holdup 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
