Chorus 1]
Wrack my brain, wrack my brain
Till my head's filled with pain
Wrack my brain

[Verse 1]
All dried up, i'm all dried up
All i have's this empty cup
All dried up

What i have, you don't want
What you want, i can't give
I got out of touch with you and yours
The way that you live

I try to do my best for you
While the sky pours down the rain
Wrack my brain

With a will there's a way
But there's no way i can see
Coming up with something you'd enjoy
As much as Tv

All the same, i play the game
Up and down old memory lane

[Chorus 1][x2]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
