Nervous Lyrics - 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, ooh, child what a waste if we never took a taste
Of everything we find in between
Ooh, you make me nervous
Ooh, you make me want to run away and hide
Ooh, you make me nervous
When you look at me I just can't lie
Ooh, 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
Ooh, child the fear I have
Keeps me bound and keeps me gagged
Keeps me pushing harder all the time
Ooh, you make me nervous
Ooh, you make me want to run away and hide
Ooh, 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
Ooh, you make me nervous tonight
You make me nervous
You make me nervous
You make me nervous
Ooh, you make me nervous
Ooh, you make me want to run away and hide
Ooh, you make me nervous
When you look at me I just can't lie
Ooh, you make me nervous tonight
