Black Sabbath - Paranoid 1970

Finished with my woman
cause she couldnt help me with my mind
People think Im insane
because I am browning all the time

All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
if I dont find something to pacify

Can you help me
thought you were my friend
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me
the things in life that I cant find
I cant see the things
that make true happiness, I must be blind

(Instrumental)

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

And so as you hear these words
telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but its too late
