I'm So Tired
The BeatlesȀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no
I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
In the song "I'm So Tired" by The Beatles, the singer expresses his exhaustion and frustration due to sleeplessness caused by his thoughts of a loved one, and his inability to ease his mind. The opening line suggests that he hasn't slept at all, and his mind is struggling to function properly. The singer contemplates whether to make himself a drink, but ultimately decides against it. Despite his weariness, he is consumed by thoughts of his loved one, and he wonders if he should call them, but he knows that they would not take his concerns seriously.
As the song progresses, the singer's exhaustion worsens, and he feels as though he is going insane. He is willing to give everything he has for a little peace of mind. He turns to cigarettes to calm his nerves but curses Sir Walter Raleigh, who brought tobacco to England, as he sees it as the root of his dependency. Despite his tiredness and depressive state, the singer remains fixated on his loved one, feeling torn between his longing for them and the harm caused by his inability to rest.
"I'm So Tired" is a raw and personal song that reflects the struggles that accompany sleeplessness and obsession. It also showcases The Beatles' versatility as it deviates from their upbeat style, instead displaying a somber and introspective tone.

I’m so tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
So tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
Party, trying my best to meet somebody
But everybody around me is falling in love to our song
Hate it, taking a shot cause I can’t take it
But I don’t think they make anything that strong so I hold on
I’m so tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
So tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
Strangers, killing my lonely nights with strangers
And when they leave I go back to our song, I hold on
Hurts like heaven, lost in the sound
Buzzcut season like you’re still around
Can’t unmiss you and I need you now
Yeah
I’m so tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
So tired of love songs
Tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
I’m so tired of love songs
Tired of love songs (someone take me home)
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home
Wanna go home (cause I can’t be alone)
Wanna go home, woah

Just wanna go home
Wanna go home
Wanna go home, woah
