Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a dream that I lost everything (Everything)
All that I'd worked for was gone
Goodness me (Goodness me)
But I felt the same as I do right now
Everything is meaningless
At least that's how it feels
Feels real bad
[Verse 2]
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (Mind)
[Verse 3]
I've got so much to be happy about (Happy about)
I'm always focused on things that amount to nothing
Yeah, I think I'm a little depressed (Depressed, depressed)
Everything is meaningless
At least that's how it feels
Feels real bad
[Verse 4]
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (Mind)
No peace of mind
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind (Mind)
[Verse 5]
But then you came into my life
You made me laugh for the first time
In a real long while
[Verse 6]
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (Mind)
No peace of mind (Peace of mind)
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind (Mind)
[Verse 7]
Do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
