I am sitting here so softly And I can hear my wristwatch ticking Wish someone would come and help me I'm going quietly mad Tried to read the evening paper Couldn't make it past page one Wish someone would come and save me, baby From going quietly mad Got ripped off by the traveling salesman I lost my job and my wallet too I sold my heart to the junkman I guess there's nothing left to do Got a letter from my baby Got a package from my dad Wish that you were here to save me, baby I'm going quietly mad I am sitting here so softly And I can hear my wristwatch ticking Wish that you were here to save me, baby From going quietly mad, I'm going quietly mad I'm going quietly mad
