Lyrics


1. PARANOID




Did you ever have that feeling in your life
That someone was watching you?
He don't have no reason, that's right
But still he's there watching you

Someone is waiting just outside the door
To take you away, yeah
Everybody knows just what he's there for
To take you away, yeah

But, you don't know why he's been waiting
But, you don't know why he's been waiting
Spent too much time anticipating
Spent too much time anticipating, yeah

Did you ever think it could be you
That's just outside the door?
There's just one way to find out if it's true
So, what you waiting for?

Because get yourself together now, my friend
And step outside the pad
If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend
I think you should be glad

But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody
You're better off by yourself
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad and say you're bad
You're better off by yourself

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody
You're better off by yourself
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad and say you're bad
You're better off by yourself







2. INSIDE LOOKING OUT




I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.

No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.

Life gets worse on God's green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I said now baby ... baby ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... Ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...

Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.

The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me.

No, no, baby,
Won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.

Make me feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.

You better come on up and get down with me.
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see.
Make me feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.
