Jonas Brothers - Paranoid Lyrics
I make the most of all the stress
I try to live without regrets
But I’m about to break a sweat
I’m freaking out
It’s like a poison in my brain
It’s like a fog that blurs the scene
It’s like a vine you can’t untangle
I’m freaking out
Everytime I turn around
Something don’t feel right
Just might be paranoid
I’m avoidin the lines cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
I’m paranoid
Yeah
I take the necessary steps
To get some air into my chest
I’m taking all the doctors meds
I’m still freaking out
That’s why my ex is still my ex
I never trust a word she says
I’m runnin all the background checks
And she’s freakin out
Everytime I turn around
Something’s just not right
Just might be paranoid
I’m avoidin the lines cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
Consider me destroyed
Cause I don’t know how to act cause I lost my head
I must be paranoid
I never thought it would come to this
I’m paranoid
Stuck in a room of staring faces
Oh
Caught in a nightmare, can’t wake up
If you hear my cry running through her streets
I’m about to freak
Come and rescue me
Just might be paranoid, yea
I’m avoidin the lines cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
Consider me destroyed
I don’t know how to act cause I lost my head
I must be paranoid
I never thought it would come to this
I’m paranoid

I heard the whole song on Radio Disney. It rocks!!!!! It will definitely be a hit:]
May 7th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Hey, this song is so.. cool! I love it! My absolute favorite part was at the start nick goes, “I’m freakin’ out!” I love that part. Normally I call the Jonas Brothers fan line everyday, to see if there is anything new. And Say Now calls me, and lets me know when there is a New Message from them. I love it!! Thanks to the JB’s - Kevin, Joe and Nick, we actually have really(x1000)good music!! I live for the Jonas Brothers, they are the best, and one of the most important people in my life! I can definitely see, this song will be a hit! Good job, Jonas Brothers!<3
May 7th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I love this song!! I can’t wait to hear the rest of their new songs.
May 7th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Woah, I haven’t heard it yet! I’m on my phone and I can’t watch videos! Omj! Now I’m paranoid! Hahaha! I can’t wait to get home! Wholy moley! Woah! It sounds so dramatic! And so deep! Gah! Im freaking out!
May 7th, 2009 at 5:43 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Alright, so
i love this song. Its different.
I may speak for my self when i thoink they are amazing.
Anyone NOT in to right mind wouldn’t love Kevin, Joe and Nick.
There all different.
There all amazing.
There all close to my hearts.
No one can ever change my mind.
Straight up, they are all just 3 guys who do there Job amazingg.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
fyi lyrics aren’t: next stairway steps….they’re: “i take the necessary steps”….good song though, i like it
May 7th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
has anyone been able to figure out what this song means? since i mean like usually their songs are about their personal lives…
May 8th, 2009 at 2:16 am
this is the best song to jam out to!!! i love it can’t wait to see the video, will be great for sure. it sets the rest of the #1 summer album of ‘09
May 8th, 2009 at 11:34 am
this song is realy realy good , I Love it and I love the Jonas brothers Your Super this song is too cool!!! I am impatient to listen the other song of the jonases new album “Lines, Vines And trying Times”
Lovely the Jonas brothers!!!!
May 8th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
This is an amazing song! Five Stars! The Jonas Brothers are really breaking out music-wise. I can’t wait to hear the rest of LVATT!

Ps: my new ringtone
May 8th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
I love it, But it does sound a bit diffrent from everything else they have done. I kinda wish it sill sounded that way.
May 8th, 2009 at 8:49 pm

this song is awesome! i love it!
May 9th, 2009 at 10:03 am
This is such a great song! I love the serious vibe to it!
also, the lyrincs aren’t “cant hear the thoughts inside my head”
it’s “im taking all the doctors meds.”
I was thinking that part may be about nicks diabetes. because he’s “freaking out!”
May 9th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I love this song!
It’s different than what they usually do, but it’s probally their best hit yet!
This is a song that I can totally jam out to.
It’s also a song that even people who don’t like the JoBros can’t resist!
It makes me even more anxious for Lines, Vines, and Trying Times!
Keep Rocking, Jonas Brothers! Never stop making more music!!!
–Mrs. Joe Jonas <3
Oh, and to Merritt about the freaking out and doctors meds part-
It’s not about nicks diabetes at all!
Its like paranoia meds or whatever they’re called.
They’re freaking out because they’re really paranoid.
It has nothing to do about Nick’s diabetes.
Just so you know =]
May 10th, 2009 at 3:46 am
Man I gotta say Mackenzie15, get a life! Great you like their music, but honestly don’t you think you’ve taken your obsession a little too far?
May 10th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
It’s alright. I like it because it is them but it is a weird song. I’m not gonna lie. I still love it though (:
May 10th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Im pretty absolutely sure it say “necessary steps” not “next stairway steps” ….
May 11th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I also heard the song on radio disney. i totally love it! i can’t get it out of my head! i love you nick!!!!!
May 11th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
The great thing about this song is that it truly shows how much they’ve grown. The song isn’t all clear-cut and obviously about one topic. It’s deeper. And I can say for sure it’s impressing people who aren’t fans- I’ve had an ex-fan and a girl that doesn’t like JB all that much tell me that they LOVE this song and that it’s really good.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
I Love this song.it is so great,i cant wait till there albums comes out. Im going to buy it for sure.Jonas brothers are what i love for. and they are mostly what i always listen too.Goshh they are so Georgeous.Great job jonas brothers..<33!
May 12th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Thank you for correcting the lyrics.
May 13th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Love the song, the lyrics are different in the song that on here in one part.
On the Third Verse, Third line, the song actually says “Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head.”
So instead of “I’m takin’ all the doctors meds,” that’s what it really says.
May 13th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
This is such a weird weird song :/
May 14th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I love this song it is so weird yet cool i love it i just cant stop singing this song. I love when joe or nick( they both sound the same now) “that’s why my ex is still my ex i never trust a word she says i’m running all the back round checks and she’s freaking out” I think this song is like so freakin cool. I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 14th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
actually, the lyrics aren’t “im taking all the doctor’s meds” it was actually “can’t hear the thoughts inside my head”
May 14th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
I love Nick’s voice! He sings all the verses! I also like how Nick and Joe alternate singing lines in the chores. And the words are “Can’t hear the thoughts in side my head.” Not “I’m takin’ all the doctors meds.”
May 15th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I love the Jonas Brothers and this song is great, its so different from their usual stuff, its awesome I can not wait for the rest of the album and their tour!
and o yea, the lyrics ARE: ‘I’m takin all the doctors meds’, radio Disney replaced that line with: ‘Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head’ because they probably thought it would encourage kids to start popping pills haha.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:38 am
For sara I have a feeling it’s about Joe and Taylor Swift. I’m not sure I just read it on Yahoo. It had pictures of them and it said, “The 19-year-old heartthrob is apparently retaliating against his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift for having aired the dirty details of their breakup in a song. Look for the Jonas Brothers’ new single, “Paranoid,” which will reveal his side of the split!” So, that’s my guess. This song is great. Nick<333
May 16th, 2009 at 9:24 am
this is a good song, but he has no reason to target Taylor Swift. you can obviously tell because he’s actually sings, SHE’S going crazy or whatever… and that’s my EX IS STILL MY EX.
May 17th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
this song is amazing cant wait to see the music video and i love the end of the song …. joe`s voice is amazing .. omg i love it
May 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
omg! i love the jonas brothers for about 2 years now. i’m going to see them this summer in concert for the worl tour. i’m so excited. i was a little unsure about this cd but when i heard this song, i knew i’ll love the new cd. i already pre-ordered it and i cant wait for the cd to come out and i want to hear this song again like right now.
peace love jonas
melissa.
p.s. nick is my favorite. i love him
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 am
wow jessica,
“They’re freaking out because they’re really paranoid.”
how’d you come to that conclusion ? such wisdom you acquire..
-.-
May 24th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Anyone who says the lyrics AREN’T “I’m taking all the doctor’s meds” is clearly deaf. I’ve listened to that particular line a million times, and there’s NO WAY he’s singing “Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head.”
May 24th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
OMJ!!!! i LOVE the song, and i CAN NOT WAIT for the CD!!!! now, anytime i go on the internet, i go to youtube to watch the video/listen to the song (i’m listening to it as we speak)!!!! it’s SO AMAZING!!!! I LOVE THE JONAS BROTHERS!!!!:) keep on livin’ the dream! you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!:)
May 24th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
oh my god i love the song and i love the jonas brothers too i cant belive how cool they are , they are the love of my live .joe and nick are so sexy
May 24th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I agree with Emma. The lyrics arent “Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head,” They are actually “I’m taking all the doctor’s meds.” I could so hear that. This song is pretty good!!!
May 24th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
There’s two versions: one with the lyrics: “I’m taking all the doctor’s meds”
and another that replaces that with “Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head”.
Just clearing things up.
May 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
well,this is a better song than those stupid ones iwas used to from jonas bro.and although joe is the HOTTEST,he looks horrible here.what a hot new look nick
May 25th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
okays.. i have to admit, i LOVE this song. i used to be crazy for JB, but i kinda grew out of their music; it seemed too immature. But now, i must honestly say WOW! they are so grown up now! xo
love the jonas,
much love, critic. (yes, critic is my real name, im not just some random who claims to be one) xo
May 26th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
DUDE!
i love this song!
and its funny cause nick isnt old enough to drive yet
xD
May 27th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Its “I’m taking all the doctors meds” not voice inside my head or watever
there are two versions…but in the music video on THEIR youtube it says im taking all the doctors meds
and nick IS old enough to drive ahaha
May 27th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Like I love the song, but the lyrics are different then what you have on here, well in one part that is.
On the Third Verse, Third line, the song actually says
So instead of “Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head.” so instead of tht put “I’m takin’ all the doctors meds,”
Please chang it, it irritte me, lol. thank you!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 12:00 am
I am a good proof of a nonfan who just can’t help but LOVE this song!
I do think the Jonas are a great band, but I’m not a huge fan. I watched the music video and immediately had to buy it. It is much deeper than anything else of theirs or any other Disney stars. Another great disney star, I must say, is Demi Lavato. Jonas and Lavato are some of the top singers that Disney has signed. I hope Jonas puts out more songs like this one, I would definitely become a bigger fan if they did!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:21 am
This is the best song ever! I saw the Video on Disney Channel and it was soo deep I love the Jonas Brothers!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
its im avoiding the lies cuz they just might spread…..
May 28th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Actually There is a version of
this song where it says “Cant hear the thoughts inside my head”.
So No need to change the Lyrics…=)
May 29th, 2009 at 10:56 am
I love this song! I went to the concert in Indiana on July 23, 2008 and it was amazing! I cried! I am in love with Joe but Nick and Kevin are absolutly amazing! Can’t wait for “Lines Vines And Trying Times”!!
May 29th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
I usually don’t like JB but I LOVE THIS SONG!!! MY favorite part is “that’s why my ex is still my ex, I never trust a word she says”
TAKE THAT MILEY!!!!!!!!!!!
May 30th, 2009 at 3:15 am
i have heard 2 versions of this song. one says “can’t hear the thoughts inside my head” and “im taking all the doctors meds” and i dont no which one it is. does anyone have the version from itunes? if so, which one does it say?
May 31st, 2009 at 1:12 am
I ABSOLUTLY love this song! all their other songs are ok and i usually don’t listen to them much but if they start writing songs like this i’m gonna listen to them 24/7!
May 31st, 2009 at 4:14 pm

June 7th, 2009 at 6:00 am
I bought the song from iTunes and there, they sing “im takin all the doctors meds” but in the music video they’re singing “cant hear the thoughts inside my head” .. soo ..
i like the “meds”-part better.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I love Nick. I love his voice. This song IS very different than all of JB’s other ones….I can’t stop listening to it! The video is also very awesome! Ooooh Nick is so cute!!
June 8th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I think we all know how hot they are so I will not even go there, but this song is an amazing song i have to say, kinda like them. ;]]
June 14th, 2009 at 9:31 am
This song is amazing!!! Jonas Brothers rocks!!! I don’t know how did they write this song, but it’s obviously the best song ever!!!
June 14th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

June 17th, 2009 at 10:41 am
I LOVE Paranoid!!!! I think it is absolutly brilliant!I have to hear it every second of the day or I might become paranoid.Although it is the best song in the entire world, I’m pretty sure it is “necessery steps” not,”next stairway steps.” Other than that, I don’t think any other song can top that. I have Paranoid on my iPod, and I can never stop listening to it.Jonas Brothers, I LOVE u guys, you guys rock my world. I don’t know what I’ll do without you great and HOT guys. I also love you’re new show JONAS, but I do have one question,Joe do you really like that Chelsea Staub girl?Well, love paranoid,and I love you all three, but Joe ,I thinkyou are the hottest of them all. So promise me that there won’t be any more “Joe and Stella/Chelsea love moments.OK? LOVE U GUYS!
June 18th, 2009 at 9:52 am
i love this song and i will definetly buy the JB albums.
June 21st, 2009 at 11:17 pm
O.K. if I listen to the video I here these lyrics or am I the only one??????
Everytime I turn around
Something’s just not right
She might be paranoid
I’m avoidin the lines cause they just might split
She’s someones problem boys?
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
Consider me destroyed
June 23rd, 2009 at 4:33 am
This song is the best. i listened to the whole song. i love you joe.
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:29 am

It’s gonna be a hit because it’s from the jbros but it’s not that good. If it was one of their firsts songs it wouldn’t have had success. Anyway, the lyrics are cool.

I agree with Emma, musicluvr and Amberpal- The lyrics REALLY are “I’m takin’ all the doctors meds” It’s OBVIOUS!!!! I saw them in CONCERT and they clearly sang those lines, it’s the song they opened with and my BFF and i listen EVERY DAY and we hear “I’m takin’ all the doctor’s meds”.
