[English]

He said "you bore me to death"

"I know you heard me the first time" and

"Be sad but don't be depressed"

Just think it over, over and

He said "it's all in your head"

"But keep an ear to the grapevine" and

"Get drunk but don't be a mess"

Keep thinking over, over I try

But it's hard to hit rewind

When I feel like

I feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Over and over, I

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind

Over and over, I try

Oo-ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

He said "you need to be fed"

"But keep an eye on your waistline" and

"Look good but don't be obsessed"

Keep thinking over, over I try

But it's hard to know what's right

When I feel like I'm borrowing all of my time

And it's hard to hit rewind

When I feel like

I feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Over and over, I

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind

Over and over, I (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Over and over, I

Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)

Feel like I'm losing my mind

Over and over, I try

Oo-ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

Oo-ooh, ooh, oo-ooh
