I've been sending these notes to you
I don't think they're getting through
Perhaps my affection's gotten misdirected
Or maybe you're reading them
And not really needing them
If that is the case, well, then I stand corrected
Everybody says I'm wasting all my time on you
But until I see a sign, that's what I'm gonna do
So I'm running out the door
To send you a couple more
In case you forgot and need to be reminded
It's me you're ignoring
And my life's getting boring
I think I could stand happiness, if I could find it
Everybody says that it's a waste of time and ink
But maybe one more note would be enough to make you think
Sit at the table, all alone
Think of a point and try to drive it home
Send out a signal, show you a sign
Come up with something that'll work this time
Write something funny, decide it's dumb
Throw out the page and start another one
Stop for a second to scratch my head
Have seven cigarettes and go to bed, yeah
Got a few more lines to go
So please tell me yes or no
I'm waiting impatiently to hear an answer
You've gone into hiding
When you could be deciding
I think this is gonna be my next disaster
Everybody says to stop, I tell 'em that I can't
I wish they would shut up and lend me another stamp
Sit at the table, all alone
Think of a point and try to drive it home
Send out a signal, show you a sign
Come up with something that'll work this time
Write something funny, decide it's dumb
Throw out the page and start another one
Stop for a second to scratch my head
Then tear it up and wish that I was dead, yeah
