Year: 1972

Lyrics:

Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A Guy she said she knew well and 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 them Im 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, oh, could you help me place this call?
'Cause I cant read the number that you just gave me
Theres something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me

But 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 them 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
Oh, no, no, no
That's not the way it feels

Operator, oh, 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
You can keep the dime

But 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 them 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

I cried for years and years whenever I listened it on the radio back then. Now it just makes me a little sad, because she's been long gone.

[lingling]

When i was young i use to hear this playing in a old cassette tape 😊👍

[johnj]

"You can keep the dime" takes me back to the 60's when I could buy a fudge sickle for 10 cents. This song takes me back 2 that era.😊

[timothygeorge]

They dont make em like this anymore! Great music!

[imwoops]

[darlenewong]

Jim was a great Singer and with a Nice Voice. This song makes me bring back my wonderful past.

[julioordonez]

I always enjoyed this song but never really knew the words. The lyrics and the music paint such a powerful pain that resonates so much more than I ever imagined. Croce was such a talented artist. It’s a shame that we lost him too soon.

[iamsupermon]

I just got resigned as a Call Center Representative (Operator) in our company and this is the background music im hearing when i put my customer on hold. I really missed my job but its very stressful. I just need rest for awhile and maybe ill be back again as an agent.

[beverlyfielder]

It's really hard for me to put in words when how hear his voice about this singer he does it in such an amazing way Simply Beautiful ❤

[brendalucier]

I sure wish I could go back in time back to the 70s

[evegtz]

Ohhh what a moving song!!! reminds me of that heartache I had for quite some time!!!

[inesbarros]

This is a kind of music you surety not hear today…PURE ROMANTIC!!❤❤

[carlmorris]

🙏. A lot of people talk about him and his music!!!!

[juangonzalez]

Song summarizes thinking g you are over someone but your not even close to being over them …. I wish these words can convince myself that it just wasn’t real

[MerlynBishop-iz]

This song brings back a lot of good memories for me

[Gordie-vn]
