I' M SO TIRED

[TKIN]

I'm So Tired
(Lennon/Lennon)


I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
no, no, no.

I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm putting you on
but it's no joke, it's doing me harm
you know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
you know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
you know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind.

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette
and curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get.

You'd say I'm putting you on
but it's no joke, it's doing me harm
you know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
you know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
you know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind.

Give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind.

I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind.

...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh...

Well...

I always believed that the 'Walter Raleigh' comment was about John smoking, and that he was cursing Walter for bringing tobacco into the UK.

But I'm So Tired is meant to be John's tribute song to Paul because he's singing about mental anguish, about losing someone close and losing a lot of sleep over it all. 'I'll give you everythin I've got for a little piece of mind.'
