I don't wanna have to shout while the day is long

Repeating all the things that I've said and done

Only words you know so well



And if I could explain what you want from me

Satisfy your insecurity

Something that you've failed to see



Oh, my love for you

Well, it's still as new

And it's burning blue



I shoulda known better

Why can't I forget her

She's an operator



I don't wanna have to shout from a mountain top

So try to realize all the things we've got

How come you don't understand?



There'll never be a future we can trust

Tomorrow's all we need in front of us

One day at a time's enough



And my love for you

Well, it's still as new

And it's burning blue



I shoulda known better

Why can't I forget her

She's an operator



And my love for you

It still feels as new

And it's burning blue



All across the nation

Open invitation

No exaggeration



I shoulda known better

Why can't I forget her

She's an operator



And my love for you

It's still burning blue
