You won't call me

what though the way is long?

and you haven't got a dime for the operator

it crossed my mind

then it struck me to the bone

as you stood there with a smile like a bottom shaker

uh uh

hear my callings

I've really let myself in for something there

the bunch of the trouble maker

uh uh

can you hear me?

uh uh

they only stand to gain

it's a wicked game

the game of the operator

I want it done and I don't mind

I can't believe there is a way

hey you drag me down (hey I'm coming up)

and you knock me out (hey I'm coming up)

you're dragging me down (hey I'm coming up)

and you take me out

drag me down

what has come?

what have you done to me?

it this the way to speak to somebody

you change it here, you taint it there

if somebody's there I'm ready for the battle

although few things just getting good

don't keep me waiting when I'm in the mood

hey you drag me down (hey I'm coming up)

and you knock me out (hey I'm coming up)

you're dragging me down (hey I'm coming up)

and you take me out

drag me down
