CHORUS:

I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown

A mental shakedown

See my hands, how they shiver

See my knees, how they quiver

My whole body's in a jitter

I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown



Well I went to see a doctor just the other day

& I've got to tell you what the man had to say

Well he said "Hey boy, you just gotta slow down

You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town

After givin' you a physical check

I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck



(chorus)



I've made up my mind I'd better change my ways

My shattered nerves have seen better days

There'll be no more girls for a week or 2

No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew

No more movies or stayin' out late

My baby have to find herself another date



(chorus)
