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)
