Hey operator can you try long distance one more time
You must know that number now to get my baby on the line
Hey operator, I've been away so long now
Can't you see you're my last chance
I've got to get to her somehow

Kisses on your photograph, they tear at my heart
Music is playing and people are waiting
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart

Yeah operator, I only want to hear her voice
I only want to say that I never meant to make her cry
Hey operator, I need you to understand
I don't mean to waste your time
But love makes you a desperate man

Kisses on your photograph, they tear at my heart
The music is playing and the people are waiting
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to see my baby once again
