All In My Mind

  • Walk around so cold
    So cold and lonely
    Or lay in bed wondering what
    To do with time
    You've got no sense of fun
    Until you know you've won again
    And yet you feel so much
    You feel so much inside

    You want to rip all the
    Jewels off all the idiots' backs so badly
    You scream give me what I've always
    Missed, give me a good time
    But if you look into your mirror
    You'll see that nobody has ever ripped you off
    It's all in your mind

    Her beauty can only ever be skin deep
    But if I'm honest that's all I ever
    Really need
    So throw us some flowers and we'll
    Give you some songs and sunshine

    And if you give me an hour
    I'll show you how you feel

    Ohhh baby, ohhh I'm much too lazy
    Ohhh it's all in my mind
    So don't be unkind
    It's all in my mind
    It's all in my mind

    Sometimes you really don't
    Really don't really don't know
    What I mean
    Sometimes you really don't
    Really don't really don't
    Know what I need

    I say I've got no sense of
    Fun until I know I've won again
    And how do you think yes how
    Do you think that feels
    So, just give me an hour
    I'll show you how you feel

    Ohhh baby
    Ohhh I'm much too lazy
    Ohhh baby
    Ohhh it's all in my mind
    So don't be unkind
    It's all in my mind Writer/s: Denise Johnson

  • Wolfman from Los AngelesI really like this song and always have ever since it came out. Today was the first time I ever looked up the lyrics and meaning. Cool stuff. I also wonder if the band took their name from the comics Love and Rockets or if the comic took the name from the band....
