Operator (that's Not The Way It Feels) Lyrics - Wallflower - Diana Krall

Operator, could you help me place this call 

You see the number on the match box is old and faded 

He's living in L.A 

With my best old ex friend ray 

A girl he said he knew well but sometimes hated 

Isn't that the way they say it goes 

But lets forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell him I'm fine 

And to show, I overcome the blow 

I learned to take it well 

I only wish my words could just convince myself 

That it just wasn't real 

But that's not the way it feels 

Operator, could you help me place this call 

'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me 

There's something in my eyes 

You know it happens everytime 

I think about the love that I thought would save me 

But isn't that the way they say it goes 

But lets forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell him I'm fine 

And to show, I overcome the blow 

I learned to take it well 

I only wish my words could just convince myself 

That it just wasn't real 

But that's not the way it feels, no, no 

That's not the way it feels, 

Operator, lets forget about this call 

There's no one there I really wanted to talk to 

Thank you for your time 

You've been so much more then kind 

You can keep the dime 

But isn't that the way they say it goes 

But lets forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell him I'm fine 

And to show, I overcome the blow 

I learned to take it well 

I only wish my words could just convince myself 

That it just wasn't real 

But that's not the way it feels 

Oh no no no 

That's not the way it feels, no no no
