Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

I'd Have to Be Outa My Mind

See the train coming down the tracks

Hear the whistle blowin' too

Packed my bags, took in my tie

Goodbye babe I'm leaving you

You can save your phony tears

There's no use crying

If I stayed with you

I'd have to be out of my mind

Yeah you treated me like your own hand dog

Which wasn't very nice

When I look to you for affection

You just kick me once or twice

Well I can't make the trip

I'm feeling bugged all the time

If I stayed with you

I'd have to be out of my mind

Yeah you say I can't live without you

And one time I thought that was so

You know you had me pretty well faked out baby

But like the wind I'm gonna blow

Ah you can tell your lies to the next guy

[?]

If I stayed with you

I'd have to be out of my mind

All the way I let you hurt me

It was just a crying shame

I don't know how I feel for you

I must have been insane

You know I don't need any glasses

To show me where I've been blind

If I stayed with you

I'd have to be out of my mind
