Verse 1

Do you have the time to listen to me whine

About nothin' and everything all at once?

I am one of those melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it

Chorus

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps

Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid?

Am I just stoned?

Verse 2

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams

She says it's lack of sex that's bringin' me down

I went to a whore, he said my life's a bore

So quit my whinin' 'cause it's bringin' her down

Chorus

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps

Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid?

Uh-yuh-yuh-yuh

(Ooh, ooh)

Bridge

Grasping to control

So I better hold on

Chorus

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps

Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid?

Am I just stoned?
