A noun (from Latin nōmen, literally meaning "name") is a word that functions as the name of some specific thing or set of things, such as living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.
Lexical categories (parts of speech) are defined in terms of the ways in which their members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ from language to language. In English, nouns are those words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase.
Word classes (parts of speech) were described by Sanskrit grammarians from at least the 5th century BC. In Yāska's Nirukta, the noun (nāma) is one of the four main categories of words defined.
The Ancient Greek equivalent was ónoma (ὄνομα), referred to by Plato in the Cratylus dialog, and later listed as one of the eight parts of speech in The Art of Grammar, attributed to Dionysius Thrax (2nd century BC). The term used in Latin grammar was nōmen. All of these terms for "noun" were also words meaning "name". The English word noun is derived from the Latin term, through the Anglo-Norman noun.

I'm sick of government warnings that tell me to watch my intake
I know my limits and I know that everyone makes mistakes
And I tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine, I'll tell you when I've had enough
I can't take it to heart, I want every last drop going to my head
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
I don't want trouble or bad times, I'm a responsible citizen
But now and then some people spoil it for everybody else
Some people should not partake, sometimes it's a big mistake
But I have no say, you know it's in control of my, control of myself
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
And I tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine, I'll tell you when I've had enough
I can't take it to heart, I want every last drop going to my head
So far to walk home
I feel so much better than this morning
It's in control of my, control of myself
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind, going out of my way
And I tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine, I'll tell you when I've had enough
