Telephone operator get me to my girl
Telephone operator get me to my girl
I tried the yellow pages and the classifieds
But I can't seem to get through
I'm sick of listening to the dial tone
I just wanna be listening to you
Seven numbers that I dialed a thousand times
I can't get through, I don't know why
The lady tells me that your mailbox is full
Is she saying that there's some other guy
All my friends are mad cause they can't get through to me
But I don't have a good excuse
They got me thinking I should just hang up
Cause maybe you are calling me too
