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
