So Tired

Ozzy Osbourne · Bark at the Moon [1983]

Time has come to say goodbye

I know it's gonna make you cry

But you belong to another my love

And half a love

That just isn't enough

I am so tired

And I just can't wait around for you

I am so tired

And I always thought we'd see it through

I've waited all this time for you

Believed your promises were true

I kept believe that you mean what you say

Be mine tomorrow

Now tomorrow's today

I am so tired

And I just can't wait around for you

I am so tired

And I always thought we'd see it through

And I often sit and wonder why

You're not with me tonight

I stayed at home remaining true

While you do what you wanna do, yeah

I am so tired

And I just can't wait around for you

I am so tired

And I always thought we'd see it through

So Tired - Ozzy Osbourne

Released on the 1983 album Bark at the Moon, 'So Tired' stands as a defining track in Ozzy Osbourne's discography, marking a pivotal shift in his musical direction. The song blends hard rock with elements of new wave and synth-pop, reflecting the experimental spirit of the era while maintaining the raw intensity characteristic of Osbourne's voice. As one of the band's most recognizable compositions, it showcases the evolution of the work from its earlier heavy metal roots toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound. The recording remains a staple of the catalogue, often cited as a key example of the mid-1980s transition in heavy music that prioritized melody and production quality alongside traditional riffs.
