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 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 something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, Something like you 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 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 something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Pull me under (Help I'm falling) Run through my veins (Night is calling) To a place (Feels like I'm flying) Where I feel no pain (Christ I'm dying) Be the pillow under my head Cover me when I'm in your bed Take me higher than I've ever been Take me down and back again 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 something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, Something like you
