Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel like going out of my head
Yau0027 got me fed up and Iu0027m so frustrated now and everything is upside down with you,
You drive me outta my head.
Making up the song as we go along, think our words are wrong, itu0027s how yau0027 try to hold me down.
Say Iu0027m born to lose, havenu0027t got a clue, feeling kinda cool and then you go and hold me down.
Sometimes I feel like going out of my head
Yau0027 got me fed up and Iu0027m so frustrated now and everything is upside down with you,
You drive me outta my head.
Living out of spite, staying out all night, crash the party ‘til yau0027 find a way to hold me down.
Guess Iu0027m gonna do what I wanna do, and itu0027s partly ‘cause youu0027re always tryinu0027 to hold me down
Sometimes I feel like going out of my head
Yau0027 got me fed up and Iu0027m so frustrated now and everything is upside down with you,
You drive me outta my head.
A little numb-er and Iu0027ll feel much better, a little dumber, but it feels much better now
Weu0027re like a mirror you remember, and you know you didnu0027t do much better, just forget it.
Sometimes I feel like going out of my head
Yau0027 got me fed up and Iu0027m so frustrated now and everything is upside down with you,
You drive me outta my head.
