Here I am, a sort of prisoner, my body is the cell   And, perhaps you are the cell key   I have all day long to sit here and all day is a long time   But my legs don't want to move me now      Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me      The game shows in the mornings do their best to entertain   And the news does it's to worry me, I don't know why I watch it   But I like the way the TV fills the room with human voice   And sometimes it is amusing, sometimes      Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me, see me      Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me   Why don't you come around?   Why don't you come around?      In the middle of the afternoon   I'm sure it's much too quiet   Then again, maybe there is noise   And I just can't hear it      Please, all I ask is that you come around   Please, all I ask is that you   Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me, see me      Please, just half an hour inside the twenty-four   Please, just one half an hour   Please, all I ask is that you come around   Why don't you come around and see me?   Come around and see me      Do you think I won't know you?   Well, I'm not senile yet   You talk about putting people in small boxes   You know how that is      Do you? Do you? Do you?   Do you? Do you? Do you?   Do you? Do you? Do you?      Oh, when you're my age, you're in my place   You'll understand, understand, understand, I know you will
