Escrita por
John Lennon, mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi gravada em
8 de outubro de 1968 e lançada em 22 de novembro de 1968 no Album
Branco.
John
escreveu-a num campo de meditação transcendental, quando ele não
conseguia dormir. Depois de três semanas de meditação e palestras,
John começou a sentir saudade de Yoko, que havia começado um
relacionamento. E também estava tendo uma insonia violenta. Essa
canção relata a fragilidade do estado mental de John nessa época.
John disse que essa canção era uma carta aberta à Yoko e que ele
gostava demais da canção e como a cantou. O tema insonia
complementa I'm only sleeping, do disco Revolver.
John tocou
violão, guitarra solo, orgao e cantou. Paul tocou baixo, piano
elétrico e fez backing vocal.
George Harrison
tocou guitarra solo e Ringo tocou bateria.
Foi regravada por Silverchair, entre outros artistas.

A letra:
I'm so tired, I
haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no
I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
(Monsieur, Monsieur, Monsieur, how about another one?)
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no
I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
(Monsieur, Monsieur, Monsieur, how about another one?)
