"Wish Someone Would Care" as written & recorded by Irma Thomas, 1964

Sitting home alone, thinkin' about my past

Wondering how I made it, and how long it's gonna last

Success has come to lots of them, and failure's always there

Time - time waits for no one, and I wish,

How I wish someone would care

Some folks think you're happy, when you wear your smile

What about your tribulations, and all, all of your trials

Smiles! - smiles hide a lots of things

The good, the bad, the hurt, all of this goes too, and I wish,

I wish! - how I wish someone would care

I wish someone would care

Don't you think someone should care?

Oh, don't you think someone should care?

Sit down and think about yourself

Ah, don't you think . . . .
