Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day
& I've got to tell you what the man had to say
Well, he said, "Hey, boy, you just gotta slow down
You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town
After givin' you a physical check [bad word] to the conclusion you're a total wreck"
 [bad word] 

I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
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

I've made up my mind I'd better change my ways
My shattered nerves have seen better days
No more girls for a week or 2
No [bad word]  'round with the usual crew
No more movies or stayin' out late
My baby have to find herself another date
