Paranoid

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
