Hello, Operator

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
