Operator

[Verse 1]
She was from the backwoods of West Virginia
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
She was only fifteen in time for the summer (Hey!)
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
And when the city boy ran into the country girl
Sparks began to fly (Started to fly)
I never felt the way I did when I first looked into those eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
It was only one summer, the last real summer
Pharcyde's "Passin' Me By"
Was on the radio, so Miss Operator
Could you find a number tonight? (Operator)

[Chorus]
Isn't that the way that they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
Give me the number if you can find it
So I can lеt her know
I've overcomе the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words
Could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real (That it just wasn't real)
That's not the way that it feels (That's not the way that it feels)

[Verse 2]
She was from a little town somewhere in Texas
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
Made a move out to Cali and her star shines bright (Hey!)
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
And when the east coast boy met the west coast girl
Neither one could deny
They came from two different worlds, but it felt alright
So they gave it a try

[Pre-Chorus]
And it was only one summer, the last real summer
A Sugar Ray song called "Fly"
Was on the radio, so Miss Operator
Could you find a number tonight? (Operator)

[Chorus]
Isn't that the way that they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
Give me the number if you can find it
So I can let her know
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 (That it just wasn't real)
That's not the way that it feels (That's not the way that it feels)

[Bridge]
Operator, oh, could you help me with somethin'?
I just want her to know
Oh, could you help me with somethin'

[Verse 3]
She was a [?] girl from the land of Lincoln
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
Five thousand dollar chest and some big blue eyes (Hey!)
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
And when the up north boy met the midwest girl
It took him by surprise
She already had a man, but I had another plan (Hey!)
To keep her by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
It was only one summer, the last real summer
A song called "Kryptonite"
Was on the radio, so Miss Operator
Could you find a number tonight? (Operator)

[Chorus]
Isn't that the way that they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
Give me the number if you can find it
So I can let her know
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 (That it just wasn't real)
That's not the way that it feels (That's not the way that it feels, operator)
Isn't that the way that they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
Give me the number if you can find it
So I can let her know
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 (That it just wasn't real)
That's not the way that it feels (That's not the way that it feels, operator)
