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
