Operator Lyrics - Live On Stage - Mary Wells

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 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
