Operator - Mary Wells

Operator, operator

I’m so glad that you rang my phone

Operator, operator

I’m so glad that you found my 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 butting in

You keep butting in

You keep butting in

I wanna know if he’s coming 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 hold up 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

I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
