"Heart On The Line (Operator, Operator)" lyrics - THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

I thought it over how it's come to this
I must have lost all my common sense
I've been chasing a dream
Running through my mind
I called her up to say how I felt
But just before I could get it out
She was gone, silence was on the line
I didn't hear a word she just hung up the telephone

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (my last dime)
She put my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Well I was always just one step ahead
Yet close enough to keep my fingers wet
I've been actin' to fool no one but myself, yes I have
Well I'm willin' to talk if you're willin' to hear
The choice of words is my biggest fear
I'd say anything just to change your mind
You've got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (very last dime)
She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (one nickel at a time)
She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
