You won't call me 
what though the way is long? 
and you haven't got a dime for the operator 
it crossed my mind 
then it struck me to the bone 
as you stood there with a smile like a bottom shaker 
uh uh 
hear my callings 
i've really let myself in for something there 
the bunch of the trouble maker 
uh uh 
can you hear me? 
uh uh 
they only stand to gain 
it's a wicked game 
the game of the operator 
i want it done and I don't mind 
i can't believe there is a way 
hey you drag me down (hey i'm coming up) 
you're dragging me down (hey i'm coming up) 
and you take me out 
drag me down 
what has come? 
what have you done to me? 
it this the way to speak to somebody 
you change it here, you taint it there 
if somebody's there I'm ready for the battle 
although few things just getting good 
don't keep me waiting when I'm in the mood 
hey you drag me down (hey i'm coming up) 
and you knock me out (hey i'm coming up) 
you're dragging me down (hey i'm coming up) 
and you take me out 
drag me down
