Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live

Operator

oh, could you help me place this call

you see the number on the matchbook

is old and faded

She's living in L.A.

with my best ol' ex-friend Ray

a guy she said she knew well

and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way

they say it goes

but let's forget all that

and give me the number

if you can find it

so I can call

just to tell 'em I'm fine

and to show

I've overcome the blow

I've learned to take it well

I only wish my words

could just convince myself

that it just wasn't real

but that's not the way it feels

Operator

oh, could you help me place this call

cause I can't read the number

that you just gave me

There's something in my eyes

you know it happens every time

I think about the love

that I thought would save me

Isn't that the way they say it goes

but let's forget all that
