[Verse 1]

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 wanna 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"

[Chorus]

Ooh, you make me nervous

Ooh, you make me wanna run away and hide

You make me nervous

When you look at me I just can't lie

Ooh, you make me nervous tonight (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Feels so wrong and feels so right

It feels like insanity

Oh, I keep acting strange

Hoping that I'll change

Waking in a sweat from a burning dream, yeah

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

Pushing harder all the time

[Chorus]

Ooh, you make me nervous

Ooh, you make me wanna run away and hide

Ooh, you make me nervous

When you look at me I just can't lie

I wanna shovel all the blame

I wanna shoot out all the lights

I wanna call you names and start a fight

Because you make me nervous tonight (Hey)

[Bridge]

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

Oh, frozen in my fright

Oh, oh

Ooh, you make me nervous tonight

[Chorus]

You make me nervous

You make me nervous

You make me nervous

Oh, you make me wanna run away and hide

Oh, you make me nervous

When you look at me I just can't lie

I wanna shovel all the blame

I wanna shoot out all the lights

I wanna call you names and start a fight

Oh, you make me nervous, nervous, nervous

Ooh, you make me nervous tonight
