Every day I try so hard to know your mind And find out what's inside you Time goes on and I don't know just who you are Or how I'm going to find you You can do whatever you please The world's waiting to be seized You can collect all neglect Or all the self-respect you need, what you need And I know, and I know, and I know Your mind's guaranteed It's all you'll ever need So what do you want with me? We live but once But good things can be found around In spite of all the sorrow If you see black You can't look back You can't look front You cannot face tomorrow Some have it nice Fat and round, flash, paradise They're very wise to their disguise Trying to revolutionize tomorrow And I know, and I know, and I know Your mind's guaranteed It's all you'll ever need So what do you want with me?
