Irma Thomas
I Wish Someone Would Care
[Intro: Ledisi]
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: Ledisi]
Sitting home alone
Thinkin' 'bout my past
Wondering how I made it
How long it's gonna last
Success has come to lots of them
Failures always there
Time, time waits for no one
And I wish, I wish someone would care
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Someone would care, oh yeah
[Verse 2: Irma Thomas]
Some folks think you're happy
When you wear your smile
But what about your tribulations
And all, all of your trials
Smiles, smiles hide lots of things
(The good, the bad, the hurt)
All of this goes too
[Chorus: Irma Thomas & Ledisi]
And I wish
I wish, I wish someone would care (Yeah)
I wish someone would care
Don't you think someone should care?
Don't you need someone to care?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Ledisi]
Some folks think you're happy
When you wear your smile
But what about your tribulations
And all, all of your trials
Smiles, smiles hide lots of things, yeah
(The good, the bad, the hurt)
All of this goes too, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus: Irma Thomas & Ledisi]
And I wish (How I wish)
I wish (How I wish)
I wish (How I wish)
I (How I wish)
I wish someone would care
[Outro: Irma Thomas & Ledisi]
Someone, yeah, someone
I wish someone care
Someone would care
Don't you think someone should care?
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
And don't you need someone to care?
I need, I need, I need, I need someone
Sit down and think about yourself
Think about me
Think about yourself (Hey) thinkin' about me
Think about yourself
Oh, hoo-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh-ho-ho-ho
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh
Mhm, mhm
