*1 2 3 4*
im lyin on the couch
with my little toe in a splint
smashed it on a corner
while reachin for my instrument

talk shows get depressin
and my eyes are too tired to read
stranded in my house
starin outside helplessly
*chorus*
thinkin of someone else
longin for that special person
who always took good care of me

hold me honey
cuddle me closely
hold me harder talk to me softly
*end chorus*

lookin at the phone
that is well within my reach
wonderin why im likin
someones self sufficiency

well its up high at this time
i should really try to act my age
yet her words always got me on track
in my younger days

*chorus*
thinkin of someone else
longin for that special person
who always took good care of me
stayed up with me all night long
when i was a child with the flu
never short on sympathy

hold me mother
cuddle me closely
hold me mother
talk to me softly
*ene chorus*

always helped me
to see the brighter side
helped me to see that everything
would turn out right

ooo ooo ooo oo

lyin on the couch
watchin doubts with no aspirin
cordless on the coffee table
rings on at any instance

she tells me that shes worried
do i have enough to eat?
im pretty sure that i just started
healing rapidly

thinking of someone else
longing for that special person
who always took good care of me

hold me mother cuddle me closely
hold me mother talk to me softly
