- Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels)
- Jim Croce
- Written by Jim Croce

- Operator, well 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? Well, let's forget all that
- And give me the number if you can find it,
- So I can call just to tell 'em IÆm fine and to show
- I've overcome the blow, IÆve 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 every time --
- I think about a love that I thought would save me.

- No, no, 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, ah, you've been so much more than kind.
- And you can keep the dime.
