I never thought there'd come a time
When someone else would tap my line
On hold my woman's love I have
Expecting to still be mine, yeah
Time comes around
I'm knowing I should be there

A line that's always been clear
Is busy at the strangest hours
Operator got to have your help
This is an emergency
Please interrupt the line
He's trying to beat my time
Emergency

Tell her love is on the phone
I know I left her all alone
But this time I got my signals straight
When love calls she won?t have to wait
Try the line one more time
This woman is much too rare for me to give her up
Knowing that love's still here
Cause all at once it came to me
Now operator got to help me please
This is an emergency
Please won't you put me through
Or she'll have somebody new
