“Mixed-Up Confusion” is a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan and released as his first single.
The song was recorded with an electric band on November 14, 1962, during the sessions for The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan but was not used on that album, which, aside from “Corrina, Corrina”, was entirely acoustic. Instead the song, backed with “Corrina, Corrina” (a different take from the Freewheelin’ one), a traditional blues song, appeared as Dylan’s first single, released in the United States on December 14, 1962, as Columbia 4-42656. According to legend, Dylan wrote the song in a cab on the way to the Columbia studios for the recording session.

LYRICS
I got mixed up confusion
Man, it’s a-killin’ me
Well, there’s too many people
And they’re all too hard to pleaseWell, my hat’s in my hand
Babe, I’m walkin’ down the line
An’ I’m lookin’ for a woman
Whose head’s mixed up like mineWell, my head’s full of questions
My temp’rature’s risin’ fast
Well, I’m lookin’ for some answers
But I don’t know who to askBut I’m walkin’ and wonderin’
And my poor feet don’t ever stop
Seein’ my reflection
I’m hung over, hung down, hung up!
