“In my Head” is the tenth track off of No Doubt’s 2001 album Rock Steady. The song tells of how Gwen copes with romantic sadness, and the happy place she goes to.
[Verse 1]
I try to think about rainbows
When it gets bad
You got to think about something
To keep from going mad
I try to think about big fat roses
When the ship starts going down
But my head is wicked jealous
Don’t want to talk about it right now
[Pre-Chorus]
Long distance, don’t talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about
You without me, don’t talk about
The past
[Chorus]
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
[Verse 2]
There’s just something about you
That gets me in a twist
And sometimes I think that Cupid
Is just taking the piss
It only takes one word or idea
To send me in real deep
So if you think you’re clever
Use the right words when you talk to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Long distance, don’t talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about
You without me, don’t talk about
The past
[Chorus]
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
[Bridge]
I really think I have a problem
I really can’t control myself
Why do I get so suspicious?
Do you want someone else?
'Cause everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
[Interlude]
Only in my head
It's only in my head
[Chorus]
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
In my head, it’s only in my head
(Only in my head)
[Outro]
Long distance, don’t talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about
You without me, don’t talk about
The past, let's talk about
The future, let's talk about
Our wedding, let's talk about
Gwen Stefani, let's talk about
How much you like me, and all that
