Why are you so paranoid
Don't be so paranoid
Don't be so
Baby, don't worry about it
Lady, 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 time out might do you good, might do us good
Before we be done for good
Cause I could make it good I could make it hood
I can make you come I can make you go
I can make you high I can make you fly
Make you touch the sky hey maybe so
All of the time
You be up in mine 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 about it
Lady we'll go out to the floor
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

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
Yea you see em look
Baby let em look give us cold looks cause we look cold
Yea 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
Till you finally let that thing go
You wanna check in to the heartbreak hotel
But sorry we're closed

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

Baby don't worry about 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

[Repeat: x2]
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

    General Comment:kanyes def not breaking up with his girl here, he's just reminding her not to be paranoid when he's gone, and to trust him enough not to look through his phone and assume things.

    gotta love the 80's beat and honestly, listening to this song helps with my paranoia in my relationship a bit.
    good song.

    General Comment:i agree with robwyattfan.. come on, considering who wrote it, the writer is a cheater.. this is a song where a player is reassuring his girlfriend and trying to get her to ignore the rumors

    My Opinion:I love this song; even if Kanye acts like a douchebag, he is talented. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I never get sick of it.

    General Comment: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!

    General Comment: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 ;)

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