I was sitting on a stone
I was waiting all alone
Precious, by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you...
 
The producers to the upcoming movie The Hobbit hired a cheap songwriter to create a song for Gollum to sing when he first realized that he no longer possessed the One Ring. The producers of the movie were very smart to check to see if the songwriter had stolen the words or music from another song, and they found that he stole the melody and most of the words from a 1970s song by ABBA, so it could not be used. That was a bad thing for the songwriter to do. He should not do that.

I was sitting on a stone
I was waiting all alone
Precious, by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me precious how can I go on here without you
 
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh
 
Ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
Ring, ring, the accident pro-bly was planned...
Ring, ring, I stare at the spot that's not tanned...
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
So, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
 
You were here and now you're gone
Hey, did I do something wrong
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you
Tell me, are we really through
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
 
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe precious better yet, oh-oh
 
Ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
Ring, ring, the accident pro-bly was planned...
Ring, ring, I stare at the spot that's not tanned...
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
So, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
So, ring, ring, why did you fall off my hand?
