Lyrics

Paranoid

[Verse 1]

Finished with my woman

'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane

Because I am frowning all the time

[Chorus]

Paranoid!

[Verse 2]

All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

I'll lose my mind if I don't

Find something to pacify

[Bridge]

Can you help me?

Occupy my brain?

Oh, yeah

Let's GO!

[Interlude]

Come here king

[Verse 3]

Oh my!

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must

Be blind

Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

I think I'll lose my mind if I don't

Find something to pacify

[Refrain]

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I

Will cry

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I

Will cry

[Bridge]

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

Cause I am frowning

All the time

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

Cause I am frowning

All the time

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

People think

That I'm insane

Cause I am frowning

All the time

[Refrain]

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I

Will cry

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I

Will cry

[Verse 4]

I need someone to show me

The things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must

Be blind

[Refrain]

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I

Will cry

Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

[Verse 5]

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my

State

I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too

Late
