I JUST WANT AN OPERATOR
 
Please, see, my plea,
I must confess. 
1.2,3, don't want to press.
hope you won't ignore.
Don't want to push 4.
Also, don't want to push 5, 
that don't make me see, feel alive.
 
Don't want to push 7 or 8.
No, that, I really hate.
No, that would not be great.
 
Hope you know, I just want to push O.
Don't want to listen to
a recording sing her songs.
Just want to move along.
 
I just want somebody to take my hand.

I just want somebody who understands.

 
Please know.
I just want to push O.
That's all I want to do.
I just want to be through.
 
Just want somebody live.
This phone system I can't survive.
 
I hope, for God's sake, not to make a mistake,
or to have to start all again, all new.
That is something, I would hate to do.
