Every time we had a pay card
I don?t know how to use a telephone
I can?t talk to my baby
I don?t know if I can get along

I said ?Hello operator, I?ll be dead on the police
That he won?t remember who I am?

Just a day at the market
I couldn?t tell the brother from the beans
I got the meat that were potatoes
The fish were tomatoes and the cash here was my marble

I said ?Hello operator, I?ll be dead on the police
That he won?t remember who I am?

Just a day in trap, I?d heard of a lifetime rebel
My intuit police and wants to get the father in dead blow
I said ?Go blow your alma
Won?t you let me speak my mind??

I said in full boom "Operator, I?m the one who loves you, my mind?
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah

Now they?re taking me away
They?ve thrown away my set of keys
I ain?t got no telephone
They won?t let me speak my peace

I said ?Hello operator, I?ll be dead on the police
That he won?t remember who I am?

I said ?Hello operator, I?ll be dead on the police
That he won?t remember who I am?
