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 should a 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 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 should a known better Why can't I forget her She's an operator An' my love for you - it still feels as new An' it's burning blue All across the nation Open invitation No exaggeration I should a known better Why can't I forget her She's an operator An' my love for you - it's still burning blue
