Lyrics:

I don't know why I'm calling*
I don't know if I should
I know you're not a doctor
But you could do me some good
Operator please!
I need your sympathy
So talk to me
The ship I'm on is sinking
And I never learned to swim
I need someone to save me
Throw me a line
And pull me in
Operator please!
Won't you rescue me
I need your company

[Chorus:]
So tell me, so tell me
You will be the one who hears my lonely voice tonight
If someone calls me all they'll gets a busy line
'Til we say 'bye tell me that you will be mine mine mine
I'll make-believe that you like me too
I'm hung up on you
Here is my confession
Not acting like should
I think I've learned my lesson
And I feel misunderstood
Operator please!
I need you to comfort me
I'm down on my knees
I used to be so shady
I did some dirty deeds
I wasn't always faithful
I said, 'A man has got his needs'
Operator please!
Don't leave me in the cold
And put my soul on hold
CHORUS
When this call is over
I'll be running through your mind
You might think I'm crazy
But you'll want me to ring another time
And I know, And you know
You'll call me down the line
Hung up on you, don’t know what to do
I'm hung up on you!
CHORUS
