Lyrics

Someone call the doctor -
I think I'm gonna die.
Someone call my mama
and tell her not to cry.
Someone get my baby
and tell her what went wrong.
Someone tell the people
I won't be gone too long.

Don't forget to see me
when they won't let me come home;
Don't forget to write me
or call me on the phone;
Anything to break the boredom
of being on my own;
Someone tell the people
I won't be gone too long.

If you see me crying
they're not just tears of pain;
and if you hear me laughing
I only laugh to hide the shame.
I've thrown away the needle -
I don't need it any more.
Someone tell the people
I won't be gone too long.
