Operator (that's Not The Way It Feels) Lyrics - Toby Lightman

Operator, well could you help me place this call? 

See the number on the matchbook is old and faded 

He's living in L.A. with my ex best friend they say 

A girl he said he knew well and sometimes hated 

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show 

I've overcome the blow, I've 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, well could you help me place this call? 

Well, 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 a love that I thought would save me 

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show 

I've overcome the blow, I've 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, well let's forget about this call 

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

Thank you for your time, oh you've been so much more than kind 

And you can keep the dime 

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that 

And give me the number if you can find it 

So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show 

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well 

I only wish my words could just convince myself 

That it just wasn't real, I've 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, no, that's not the way it feels
