Paranoid Lyrics

Why are you so paranoid?
Don't be so paranoid
Don't be so

Baby, don't worry about it
Hey there, don't even think about it

You worry bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things, the wrong things

Tell me right now, you really wanna spend your whole life alone
A little timeout might might do you good might do us good before we meet up for good
Cuz I can make it good, I can make it hood, I can make you come, I can make you go
I can make you make you high, I can make you fly, I can make you touch the sky hey baby so,
all of of the time you be up in my checking through my cell phone baby , no
you wanna kill the vibe on another night, here's another fight oh here we go

Baby, don't worry bout it
Lady, we'll go out to the floor

Anyway, they don't know you like I do (They don't know)
They'll never know you (Never know)
Anyway, they don't know you like I do (Never know)
They'll never know you

All of the time, you wanna complain about the nights alone
So now, you here with me, social gratitude, leave the attitude way back at home
Yeah, you see 'em look, baby, let 'em look, give you cold looks cuz we look cold
Yeah, you heard about all the word of mouth, don't worry about what we can't control
All the talk in the world, loss in the world 'till you finally let that thing go
You wanna check-in to the heartbreak hotel but sorry we're closed

Baby, don't worry bout it
Baby, we'll go out to the floor

Anyway, they don't know you like I do (To the floor)
They'll never know you (Never know)
Anyway, they don't know you like I do (They don't know)
They'll never know you

Baby, don't worry 'bout it
Lady, don't even think about it

You worry bout the wrong things, the wrong thing
You worry bout the wrong thing, the wrong thing
You worry bout the wrong thing, the wrong thing
You worry bout the wrong thing...

Anyway, they don't know you like I do
They'll never know you
Anyway, they don't know you like I do
They'll never know you

My Opinion
Cover art for Paranoid lyrics by Kanye West

that new singer has a great voice i love how he sounds in this song

This is honestly my favorite song off of the album. The new wave 80s sound is ahead of it's time, believe it or not. He beat the UK/Aus bands to the US w/ his synths and auto-tune. It's on repeat every time it comes on

Cover art for Paranoid lyrics by Kanye West

jesus, this song is sick. got it on repeat all day at work...i can't stop!

especially love that first verse:

Tell me right now, you really wanna spend your whole life alone A little timeout might might do you good might do us good before we meet up for good Cuz I can make it good, I can make it hood, I can make you come, I can make you go I can make you make you high, I can make you fly, I can make you touch the sky hey baby so, all of of the time you be up in my checking through my cell phone baby , no you wanna kill the vibe on another night, here's another fight oh here we go

man, i gotta go write somethin now. he's got me in the mood or somethin. lmao

Clearly reflective on his past relationship and the pain it caused him. It's rare an artist, much less a rapper reveals his emotions to this degree to public and gives us an in-depth look at where he is at right now in his life. The new-wave 80s sound was a little strange to me at first, but it has grown on me. Great song!

Um, I´m going to proceed from my pov and the sitatuions me and the one I love is in. o this is only my interpretation of what this song is about. It could be wrong in some places.

Why are you so paranoid? Don't be so paranoid. Don't be so (He feels that she sometimes can be paranoid just because she doesn’t feels like that is the right way of living life)

Baby don't worry bout it Hey there don't even think about it You worry bout the wrong things The wrong things[x4] (He feels like she worries too much of what might happen in the heartbreak world, he wants to share his world with her)

All of the time you really wanna spend your whole life alone? (He wonders how on earth she can handle herself so well alone, so he wants her to experience things that he experienced) A little time out might do you good, might do us good (He wants her to be a bit less independent and more codependents on him; ´cause he is used to that everyone is co-depended) 'Fore we be done for good. (Until its running out of time for her being within their world) Cause I can make it good I can make it hood I can make you come I can make you go I can make it high I can make it fly Make you touch the sky Hey maybe so. (He wants to make her feel comfortable in his world, and he wants her to enjoy everything in the heartbreak world with him)

All the time you be up in my Checking through my cellphone Baby no You wanna kill the vibe on another night? (This is not in a situation that we could be in... but I guess the singer is pointing out that she’s worried about him having other affairs) Here's another fight (They fight silently whether she would in heartbreak world or not) Oh here we go

(Chorus) Baby don't worry bout it Lady we'll go out to the floor (He wants her to enjoy everything with him, he wants to learn her about things that he can do in his world)

[Kid cudi] Anyway they don't know you like I do <They don't know> They'll never know you <Never Know> Anyway they don't know you like I do <Never Know> (He knows that his friends and other people will not fully get her as good as he does, but he feels that its just fine because he wants to be the one that cares most for her)

(Verse 2) All of the time you wanna complain about the nights alone So now you're here with me Show some gratitude Leave the attitude way back at home (He wants her to feel gratitude towards him for taking her to his world ´cause if he notice that she doesn’t enjoy it as much as he does he feels a pressure to assure her that everything’s fine and deny the fact she isn’t enjoying herself) Yeah you see ´em look Baby let ´em look Give you cold looks ´cause we look cold Yeah you heard about all the word of mouth Don't worry about what we can't control All the talk in the world lost in the world (He wants her to compete with him against others ´cause that what you are supposed to do, he doesn’t wants her to care if people are talking about their relationship and his gangs that he hang out with, ´cause he knows that is a bit because of him that they are talking about it) 'Til you finally let that thing go You wanna check into the heartbreak hotel But sorry we're closed. (He wants to say the she lose him and his world)

(Chorus) Lady don't worry bout it Baby we'll go out to the floor (He wants her to enjoy everything with him, he wants to learn her about things that he can do in his world)

[Kid cudi] Anyway they don't know you like I do <to they floor> They'll never know you <Hey! never know> Anyway they don't know you like I do <They don't know> (He knows that his friends and other people will not fully get her as good as he does, but he feels that its just fine because he wants to be the one that cares most for her)

Baby don't worry bout it Lady don't even think about You worry bout the wrong things The wrong things[x3] You worry bout the wrong thing (He feels like she worries too much of what might happen in the heartbreak world, he wants to share his world with her)

[Kid cudi] Anyway they don't know you like I do They'll never know you Anyway they don't know you like I do[x2] They'll never know you. (He knows that his friends and other people will not fully get her as good as he does, but he feels that its just fine because he wants to be the one that cares most for her)

Well, srry if my english isn´t good enough.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Paranoid lyrics by Kanye West

A song about breaking up with a girl for mistrust. In typical Kanye fashion, because he's so awesome.

Cover art for Paranoid lyrics by Kanye West

Hey, great song, the other person singing though isn't Kid Cudi like Monreflections said, it's Mr. Hudson. Mr. Hudson was one of the support acts for KanYe's Glow In The Dark tour when it came to Ireland, I don't know about the other countries. Check out KanYe's other song with Mr. Hudson, 'Supernova' Its Amazing!!!! From KanYe's Biggest fan ;)

Cover art for Paranoid lyrics by Kanye West

This song is obviously about a dude whose cheating on his lady all the time (which the rest of the record seems to confirm), but he's telling her to relax and not worry about it, because really it doesn't matter either way. People have affairs all the time and to be frank, digging deeper only makes it worse. At least that's the perspective the song takes and well, most therapists would probably agree. Hit it and quit it, people!
