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 your 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 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
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!
