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 my 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
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)
