I need you dear to patiently listen to me Although I am just an old and lonely lady. Of course, I do have family living around me But none has time for me, a poor old lady They are too busy making money To buy the good things in life, honey They own fancy cars and Spanish guitars Now they want to reach out for the stars I seem to be cramping their life style I must leave and go away for a while Then perhaps they may just realize That their attitude is cruel and unwise If they do not, I will no effort spare To find another home where people care While they carry on blissfully unaware Hopefully I will be more at ease Among more caring people, less difficult to please.
