Paranoid Mind

Janis I. Monroe
I am in a state of mind
Where hallucinations are running wild
The pressure you've put on my to be yours
Has gone too far

I don't love you
But still you keep on
We were only supposed to be friends
Yet you say you love me
And it grows deeper with every coming day

Not that you're free from her
You think you can do as you please
But I've got news for you, babe
I'm not playing your game

CHORUS:
You better stop your pushin' and shovin'
'Cause I can't take any more of your lies
You see I've gone paranoid
I've sailed inside its storm
Into the darkness of insanity
Will it ever set me free!
My state of mind
My new companion is paranoid
(end)

You say that I'm the one
Your destiny
You want me to have the world
You'll do anything for me
What is it gonna take
For you to see
That all you're causing me is misery

Your mind is clouded
Your heart is broken
Your soul is lost
With painful words unspoken
Forget about me
And what you think you feel
I'm not gonna be your rebound girl

CHORUS:
You better stop your pushin' and shovin'
'Cause I can't take any more of your lies
You see I've gone paranoid
I've sailed inside its storm
Into the darkness of insanity
Will it ever set me free!
My state of mind
My new companion is paranoid
(end)

You have a son
Consider him in your life
Don't dump him for me
What kind of father would you be?
I'm breaking the friendship
I'm saying good bye
And leaving you behind

I'm sailing across this gentle sea
To keep you far away from me
I am happy once again
Please listen to me this time
And find another poor soul for a friend
One who can stand your smooth talk day after day
Without becoming possessed by insanity
Wondering if the words you speak
Are really what you mean

CHORUS:
You better stop your pushin' and shovin'
'Cause I can't take any more of your lies
You see I've gone paranoid
I've sailed inside its storm
Into the darkness of insanity
Will it ever set me free!
My state of mind
My new companion is paranoid
(end)
