"Paranoid" Lyrics by BLACK SABBATH

Finished with my woman ’causeShe couldn’t help me with my mindPeople think I’m insane becauseI am frowning all the time

All day long I think of thingsBut nothing seems to satisfyThink I’ll lose my mindIf I don’t find something to pacify

Can you help meOccupy my brain?Oh yeah

I need someone to show meThe things in life that I can’t findI can’t see the things that makeTrue happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sighAnd you will laugh and I will cryHappiness I cannot feelAnd love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these wordsTelling you now of my stateI tell you to enjoy lifeI wish I could but it’s too late
