Mary wells operator lyrics

Operator, operator, I'm so glad that you rang my phone  

 Operator, operator, I'm so glad that you found me 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 buttin' in, you keep buttin' in  

 You keep buttin' in  

 I wanna know if he's comin' 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 holdup 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  

 (repeat & fade):  

 I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
