Kooper I am sitting here so softly And I can hear my wristwatch ticking Wish someone would come & help me I'm going quietly mad Tried to read the evening paper Couldn't make it past page one Wish someone would come & save me baby From going quietly mad Got ripped off by the traveling salesman I lost my job & 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
