Notes To You

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
