  • Yeah, you
    Seem so civilized
    Your mama's tryin'
    To run your life

    Your daddy's tryin'
    To pick your wife
    Oh no

    Yeah, you run around
    With all that hair
    They just don't like
    Those rags you wear

    You say
    I'm gonna pack up my stuff
    I'm gonna run away

    And then you say
    You drive me nervous, nervous
    And then I said
    You drive me nervous, nervous, nervous, oh

    Nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous, whoa-oh-oh
    Aaah

    You're out of state
    You're thrown in jail
    You ain't got the bread
    To pay the bail
    Your mom and papa come up and said
    "Honey, where did we fail?"

    And then you scream
    You drive me nervous, nervous
    And then I screamed
    You drive me nervous, nervous, nervous, oh

    Nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous, whoa-oh-oh

    You drive me ne-ne-ne-nervous
    Ne-ne-ne-nervous
    You drive me nervous
