General Comment It is about a man, and his girlfriend went and lived with his ex best friend. Ray was his best friend, but then his girlfriend and ray started dating, so they arent friends anymore. And the man also just wants to call her and tell her that he is doing fine now. There's something in my eye You know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me He is crying when he is thinking about her. General Comment So many good things about this song.
Of course it resonates with people but the subtle phrasing is great. It seems like he relies on the operator, a total stranger to talk about his problem. I'm sure more than a few real operators have had such confessionals and it also seems common for someone who has had their heart broken to go babbling about it to anyone who will listen. Kind of pathetic but he knows it but what can he do.

The speaker is trying to find the phone number of his former lover, who has moved to Los Angeles with his former best friend. He wants to demonstrate to both of them that he is well and over their betrayal, but admits to the operator that he isn't. After the operator has given him the number, he is unable to read it, apparently due to the tears in his eyes. He then changes his mind and tells the operator not to place the call, appreciatively adding "you can keep the dime " the standard toll he had deposited in a payphone.
The story was inspired during Jim Croce's military service, where he saw lines of soldiers waiting to use the outdoor phone on base, many of them calling their wives or girlfriends to see if their Dear John letter was true.
