Nervous - Melissa Etheridge

They don’t much care for you

No they don’t like your kind

The way you look walk

Or the way you talk

The way you always speak your mind

But you want to be my friend

You’re not anything like them

You can show me things I’ve never seen

You say ooo child what a waste if we never took a taste

Of everything we find in between

Ooo you make me nervous

Ooo you make me want to run away and hide

Ooo you make me nervous

When you look at me I just can’t lie

Ooo you make me nervous tonight

Feels so wrong and feels so right feels like insanity

I keep acting strange hoping that I’ll change

Waking in a sweat from a burning dream

And then look at all my friends I keep on pleasing them

Caught up in the chaos of their minds

Ooo child the fear I have

Keeps me bound and keeps me gagged

Keeps me pushing harder all the time

Ooo you make me nervous

Ooo you make me want to run away and hide

Ooo you make me nervous

When you look at me I just can’t lie

I want to shovel all the blame

I want to shoot out all the lights

I want to call you names and start a fight

Because you make me nervous tonight

Heart pounds hands wet mouth dry

I shake I scream I cry

No eat no sleep all night

I build my lonely cell with secrets I can’t tell

Frozen in my fright

Ooo you make me nervous tonight

You make me nervous

You make me nervous

You make me nervous
