heart on the line

i thought it over how it's come to this

i must have lost all my common sense

i've been chasing a dream

running through my mind

i called her up to say how i felt

but just before i could get it out

she was gone

silence was on the line

i didn't hear a word she just hung up the telephone

oh operator

operator

would you be so kind

as to reconnect my number

i just spent my last dime

she put my love on hold and my heart is on the line

well i was always just one step ahead

yet close enough to keep my fingers wet

i've been actin' to fool no one but myself

yes i have

well i'm willin' to talk if you're willin' to hear

the choice of words is my biggest fear

i'd say anything just to change your mind

you've got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

oh operator

operator

would you be so kind

as to reconnect my number

i just spent my last dime

she's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

oh operator

operator

would you be so kind

as to reconnect my number

i just spent my last dime

she's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line
