Paranoid Lyrics

I'm 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

All day long I search for things
But nothing seems to satisfy
I think I will lose my mind
If I don't find something to qualify

Can you help me
Help me with my brain?
Oh no

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my fate
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could, but it's too late

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

I must be paranoid
