Transcriber: Awcantor

You hold my hand and I can't understand

My nerves, oh my nerves

One look from you and you don't know what you do

To my nerves, oh my nerves

Ooh, my nerves

You hold me tight and kiss me right

My nerves, oh my nerves

I get such a thrill it sends a chill

To my nerves, all my nerves

A-can't you see what you do to me

To have me feel this way?

I pat my feet and I clap my hands

And I snap my fingers all day

Whisper low that you love me so

My nerves, all my nerves

I should be bold when I lose control

Of my nerves, all my nerves

(Instrumental and saxs)

Like the sun shines in the sum-um-um-mer

Like the sun shines in the fall

I'll be there anytime a-you want me

All you gotta do is call

Call my name and you start that-a flame

In my nerves, all my nerves

When you're around, I can't hold 'em down

My nerves, all my nerves

One little squeeze and I just kind-a ease

My nerves, whoa my nerves!

I'm a total wreck, 'cause I just can't check

My nerves

Whoa! My Nerves!
