You hold my hand and I can't understand
My nerves, oh my nerves
One look from you and you don't know what you do
To my nerves, oh my nerves
Ooh, my nerves
You hold me tight and kiss me right
My nerves, oh my nerves
I get such a thrill it sends a chill
To my nerves, all my nerves
A-can't you see what you do to me
To have me feel this way?
I pat my feet and I clap my hands
And I snap my fingers all day
Whisper low that you love me so
My nerves, all my nerves
I should be bold when I lose control
Of my nerves, all my nerves
(Instrumental and saxs)
Like the sun shines in the sum-um-um-mer
Like the sun shines in the fall
I'll be there anytime a-you want me
All you gotta do is call
Call my name and you start that-a flame
In my nerves, all my nerves
When you're around, I can't hold 'em down
My nerves, all my nerves
One little squeeze and I just kind-a ease
My nerves, whoa my nerves!
I'm a total wreck, 'cause I just can't check
My nerves
