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
Oh when I went to see a doctor just the other day
I'm about to tell you what the man had to say
Well he says, Eddie boy you just gotta slow down
You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town
I have to give you a physical check
I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck
I made up my mind, I better change my way
My shattered moods have seen a better day
Well no more girls for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
No more movies or a stayin' out late
My baby has to find herself another date
