Finally, song flow and lyrics (Figure 1 = Figure 1A + Figure 1B)
[INTRO] X4 w/Figure 1 Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time [Figure 2] X2 w/Figure 1 All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify w/Figure 3 Can you help me? Are you for my brain? Oh yeah! [Figure 1A] X2 w/Figure 1 I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind [Solo over Figure 1A] [Figure 1A] X2 w/Figure 1 Make a joke and I will s igh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal [Figure 2] X2 w/Figure 1A And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish i could but it's too late [Figure 1]
