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 feel 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'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
give me something for the pain,
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...
Lonliness has found a home in me,
my suitcase and guitar are my only family
i've tried to need someone, like they needed me
well 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 no band-aid that's gonna 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'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
give me something for the pain,
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...

pull me under help me 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'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
give me something for the pain,
give me something i can use
to get me through the night, make me feel all right,
something like you
