Happiness, it's been no friend to me But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do When you're feeling like a headline on yesterday's news Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on! Loneliness has found a home in me My suitcase and guitar are my only family I've tried to need someone like they needed me I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed I don't need no lover just to get it screwed, oh yeah They don't make a bandage that's going to cover my bruise Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on! (Help, I'm falling) Pull me under, run through my veins to a place where I feel no pain (Night is calling) Be the pillow under my head cover me when I'm in your bed (Feels like I'm flying) Take me higher than I've ever been take me down and back again (Christ I'm dying) Come to me, be my disguise, open your coat, let me crawl inside Come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Give me! Give me something for the pain Give me! Give me something for the blues, oh yeah Give me! Why don't you give me something for the pain, baby Give me!

She packed her bags and left for Hollywood To be the star I knew she could She's been saving up for quite some time Workin' down at that five-and-dime We said goodbye on a warm spring night I just stood there and watched those fading taillights 'Cause you can hold your own Against anybody I know And stand right up to any man And it's not that I'm afraid You won't come back to me some day It's just will this life be as grand? I heard she found a place and settled in Found some work and made some friends And well there ain't much changed 'round here I just drive my truck down to gеt some beer 'Cause you can hold your own Against anybody I know And stand right up to any man And it's not that I'm afraid You won't come back to mе some day It's just will this life be as grand? And if you need a place to hide away If those city dreams ever start to fray And if the busy sounds ever bring you down You can find me in a small town And girl I really do wish you the best And I hope you find your happiness And if you ever change your mind You'll find that I been waiting here all the time 'Cause you can hold your own Against anybody I know And stand right up to any man And it's not that I'm afraid You won't come back to me some day It's just will this life be as grand? And it's just will this life be as grand?
