Operator

Operator, well could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
*Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
( No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels )
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me (*)
Operator, well let's forget about this call
No one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime (*) |
接線生 吉姆克羅奇
接線生，能否幫我接通這支電話？
你看，電話簿上的號碼很舊了又很模糊
她現在和我以前最好的老朋友" 雷 "住在洛杉磯
她說是她很熟悉、又有點討厭的傢伙
事情不就像人們說的那樣嗎？
好吧，讓我們把這些忘掉
如果你查到了，請把號碼給我
這樣我才能打電話跟他們說我很好
讓他們知道我已經挺過來了
我學會了淡然處之
我只希望我講的話可以說服自己
那些事不是真的
但事情不是那樣子的
（不，不是那樣子的）
接線生，你能幫我接通這個電話？
嗯，我看不清楚你剛給我的號碼
有東西跑進了我的眼睛
每次都是這樣
我想起了一段我以為可以拯救自己的愛情
接線生，讓我們忘了這通電話吧
其實我沒有真的想要打給誰
謝謝你陪我這段時間
你真是太親切了
一毛錢你就留著吧 |

接線生，在電話尚未普及的年代，指專門在電信機房裡幫人接通指定號碼的人員。如今電信業發達早已沒有這樣的編制，但許多大企業仍保有類似的職缺，專門接聽及轉接各界打來的電話，如：總機小姐；operator
在產業界則指作業員、操作員。
