Mandrell, Barbara - Operator, Long Distance Please Lyrics






I woke up alone the bed was so cold
I learned a lot in just one night
I don't like T.V., I don't like to read
And I don't like this single life
I don't even mind if he says I told you so
I gave it one night that's long enough to know

Operator, Long distance please
Could you ring this number for me
I've been callin' all afternoon
There's something wrong
I can't get through
Operator, long distance please
I can't wait for him to call me
I only need a second or two
That's all it takes to say I love you

I called yellow cab to see where they had taken him last night
I called the airlines, they checked his flight
He was on the 8.09
I called the hotel where he stays when he goes to L.A.
They said he checked in late last night, Room 245

Operator, Long distance please
Could you ring this number for me
I've been callin' all afternoon
There's something wrong
I can't get through
Operator, long distance please
I can't wait for him to call me
I only need a second or two
That's all it takes to say I love you

I've got to keep dialin' tryin' can't you see
If I can just reach him, he'll come back to me

  1. C.... M....

    Thanks Renee, I just posted this on "Barbara Mandrell fan's Unite" Great song, great album/CD.

  2. J.... C....

    One of a kind .

    J.... C....

    I sure do miss her since she retired. One extremely talented lady.Barbara seems happy though.

  3. K.... M....

    I'd ask for "You're Not Supposed To Be Here." From this same album, but you probably don't have it and it probably has surface noise and delayed time start for song.

    K.... M....

    Kevin Macdonald No I don't have it and I can't help the noise or the start times. They were sent to me like that. Nobody else has complained about the songs.

  4. M.... M....

    This album was her best should have had multiple Grammys ...excellent!

    M.... M....

    I agree with you.

  5. R.... S....

    I am a big fan of hers and have most of her albums between 1977 and 1986. She is one of my favorite singers and I wrote her a fan letter and got an autographed picture from her. She is a talented lady!!!

    R.... S....

    She is one of my favorite singers also.  Barbara has so much talent!  I really miss her performing.  Her autobiography is worth reading-came out in 1990.

  6. A.... G....

    one of my favorite songs by Barbara!! love it

  7. b.... ....

    Thank you for posting this song and bringing back good memories!

  8. m.... f....

    misselizabeth  im  a  big  fan  of  hers  aslo  nice  to see   someone  els  who  is  also  I  miss  her  singing

    m.... f....

    Fan here too!! She is one of my favorite female country singers

    m.... f....

    Hopefully you saw Barbara in "The Last Dance" with her band the Do-Rites.  She is a true performer/entertainer.

    m.... f....

    yes  I  did  I  was  there   I   love  the  show  shes  the   best

    m.... f....

    Oh wow, I am so jealous.  I have seen Barbara in concert a 1/2 dozen times-never disappointed.

  9. L.... N....

    Another great 80's song!

  10. D.... W....

    Barbara ht #9 in Billboard, 11-13-82. God bless you, Miss Barbara! Thanx, Elizabeth, for postin' it. Have a blessed week!

  11. r.... ....

    Great song.

  12. t.... ....

    Got this album when it came out at 9 years old. Still love the music from this album and I'm now 42. Love her!

  13. C.... M....

    Love this song by Barbara.  I miss her live performances, so much energy and showmanship.  A true entertainer.

  14. C.... H....

    Another fantastic Kye Fleming/Dennis Morgan composition from 1982, one of 23 Top 20 country hits they wrote between 1978 and 1983

    C.... H....

    Terrific song writing duo!

    C.... H....

    And most of them were for Barbara! By the way, Barbara made a rare appearance on stage here in Nashville last week at the ACM Honors show to present an award to Kye Fleming!

  15. n.... ....

    I was a Country DJ in the early 80s and I LOVED both Barbara and Louise!
    God bless them both!

  16. M.... ....

    JUST AS GOOD AS GOLD!!...Thank you soooo much for posting and sharing this "rarely heard anymore" lil' country gem that peaked at #9 on the charts back in November 1982...I thoroughly enjoyed it!...(and the sound quality is quite nice too!)...Take care!! :)

    M.... ....
