Warning Lyrics
Now the first time that I met 'ya
I was lookin' in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur,
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver,
And the wind began to moan
It must have been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong.
You never said you loved me
And I don't believe you can
'Cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual,
And I try to look the same
But now I've got to know ya'
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Now the whole wide world is moving,
'Cause there's iron in my heart
And I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice
As I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a little bit too strong
I was lookin' in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur,
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver,
And the wind began to moan
It must have been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong.
And I don't believe you can
'Cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual,
And I try to look the same
But now I've got to know ya'
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
'Cause there's iron in my heart
And I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice
As I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without you baby,
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a little bit too strong

It's about a relationship that is over, and a broken heart...depressing song really, best damn Black Sabbath song...
this songs awesome. i was waiting for it to end but it wouldn't they'd bust out a 3 min guitar solo, then they'd pause, jam, solo, pause, jam, solo, solo... but it's too damn great to not appreciate.
It's a cover of some Russian Blues-Rock band's biggest song or something, I don't know for sure.
The only thing I know is that it's awesome. I bought We Sold Our Souls For Rock N Roll because it seemed like cheap way to own Sabbath's biggest hits. All I knew of was Iron Man and War Pigs. Then I hear this bluesy masterpiece and become obsessed with their sound and Ozzy's unbelieveable vocals. One of the truly great under rated Sabbath songs, or any kind of song for that matter.
The original artist is the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation.
i fucking love this song. and its about a women that he loves dearly but cant have. really hits home.
because this song is self explainitroy and there are no words that could ever give the original Sabbath any justice. I just got the Black Box :^) ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!
this song is black sabbath the way they should be. Ozzie's voice at his best. amazing guitar solos. blues riffs a plenty. the bass line all over the place, yet perfectly synchronised with the guitar. yes, its a cover, but sabbath do it so well!!
Another favorite. Reminds me of my ex.
What a friend told me a while back was that this song is about a man who had an obsession over a woman he cannot have. He said the guitar solos infer that he ends up killing her (the solos get increasingly intense, the final guitar solo before the final verse especially feels like something sinister is happening). I guess the lyrics could point to this a little bit. I doubt this is entirely true, but its how I like to picture it every time I hear this song.
This is by far my favorite Sabbath song. I think they went downhill after the first album. Ozzy was at his pinnacle here and the drugs took him down gradually thereafter. The song is self explanatory. Boy gets girl; boy loses girl; boy laments losing girl. The guitar work by Tony is as good as any rock song ever. The "youth angst" returns every time I hear it. Lost loves, missing the past, life ahead, etc.
