A mental shakedown (riff)
I 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 (guitar fill)
And I'm got to tell you what the man had to say (guitar fill)
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"
I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown
A mental shakedown (Riff)
I 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
I've made up my mind, I'd better change my ways (riff)
My shattered nerves have seen better days (riff)
Well, no more girls for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
No more movies or stayin' out late
My baby, have to find herself another date
