It’s All in Your Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
Well, it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind

[Chorus]
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Wanted to be
Your good friend

[Verse 2]
Well, I cannot believe
You got a devil up your sleeve
And he's talking to me
And I cannot believe

[Chorus]
And I wanted to be
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Your good friend

[Verse 3]
Well, you're all scared and stiff
A sick, stolen gift
And the people you're with
They're all scared and stiff
See Beck Live
Get tickets as low as $61
[Chorus]
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Wanted to be
Your good friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

More stripped back than its original version, the string section (assembled by Beck’s dad!) really make this one, and their deep, brooding sounds give Beck a stage to sing from, in this short and simple song.
