"I'm So Tired" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Original Manuscript (1968)

(1) I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix
myself a drink - no-no-no.

(2) I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired
I wonder should I call you but I know
what you would do

(3) You'd say I'm putting you on
but it's no joke - it's doing me harm
because I can't sleep - I can't stop my
brain - you know it's 3 weeks and
I'm going insane and I'd give
you all I've got if you
gimme little peace of mind.

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
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.
