I'm Mad Again

(album: The Animals [US] - 1964)

I had a friend one time, at least I thought he was my friend
For he came to me, said "I ain't got no place to go"
I said "take it easy man, you can come home to my house,
I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head"
Took him home with me, let him in my house,
Let him drive my Cadillac that I could not afford
When I found out he'd been messing around with my baby

You know I'm mad like Al Capone (I'm burning up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burning up)
Like Sonny Liston yeah (I'm burning up)
You know baby I'm mad (I'm burning up)
Like Cassius Clay (I'm burning up)
You know I'm mad (I'm burning up) you know I'm mad
Yeah baby, alright baby (I'm burning up)
I'm mad, come on (I'm burning up)

Took him home with me, introduced him to my baby,
He began to talk to her, made her think the moon was blue
You know I think I ought to tell you daddy
I'm mad, I said I'm mad with you
I don't know what I'm gonna do to you
I might drown you, I might shoot you
I just don't know because I'm mad

I said I'm mad (I'm burning up)
You know I'm mad (I'm burning up)
I don't have to tell you I'm mad (I'm burning up)
I'm mad with you yeah (I'm burning up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burning up)
Yeah yeah yeah (I'm burning up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burning up)
You know I'm mad, oh baby I'm mad
Oh I said I'm mad, you know I'm mad, oh baby I'm mad
