lyrics

Hello, Operator,
Please connect me to a line
Of someone who can help
This darlin’ pal of mine

Sure you wouldn’t know it
If you saw the state he’s in
But my baby is the best damn lover
That my heart could win

I can’t say what’s wrong with him
But I know that he ain’t right
Wonder, could you tell me
Where he goes so late at night?

Help me, Operator,
Help me answer, “Why?”
My baby’s looking down at the dirt
All the time

I wish, Operator,
How I wish that I knew
Somebody else
I could share these troubles to

No, I wouldn’t say
That he’s treated me unkind,
But I can’t help and think
He’s got leavin’ on his mind

Well, I’m no good at riddles
And worse at reading signs
Wonder, is it worth
All these tears I cry?

It’s a shame, Operator,
He can’t look me in the eye
My baby’s looking down at the dirt
All the time

I did not see a label
I heard no timer chime
The expiration date
Did not catch my eye

How was I to know
That love had print so fine?
My baby’s looking down at the dirt
My baby’s looking down at the dirt
My baby’s looking down at the dirt
All the time
