Operator Lyrics

[Intro]
Woah, woah

[Verse 1]
She didn't come home last night
I called her like 20 times
No, I know she’d never do me wrong
She just went out with her girls
There's nothing to worry about
No, I know I'll hear from her tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
There must be something wrong with my phone
’Cause I haven't heard from her in so long
There must be something wrong with my life
'Cause I always seem to lose her every time

[Chorus]
Oh, operator
See what you can do (Operator)
I just can't get through
Yeah

[Verse 2]
That guilty look upon her face
I'm sure that it'll go away
No, I know she'd never do me wrong
'Cause we said it’s eternity
And your the only one for me
No, no way, she’s been creeping all along (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
There must be something wrong with my phone
'Cause I haven’t heard from her in so long
There must be something wrong with my life
'Cause I always seem to lose her every time

[Chorus]
Oh, operator
See what you can do (Operator)
I just can't get through (Operator)
See what you can do (Operator)
I just can't get through

[Pre-Chorus]
There must be something wrong with my phone
’Cause I haven't heard from her in so long
There must be something wrong with my life
'Cause I always seem to lose her every time

[Chorus]
Oh, operator
See what you can do (Operator)
I just can't get through (Operator)
See what you can do (Operator)
I just can't get through

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
