Nervous Breakdown Lyrics

by Wanda Jackson

I'mma 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'mma havin' a nervous breakdown

I went to see the doctor just the other day
I gotta tell you what he had to say
He said, "Hey, gal, you gotta slow down
You can't keep a traipsin' all over town
After givin' you a physical check
I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck"

I'mma 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'mma havin' a nervous breakdown

I've made up my mind, I better change my ways
My shattered nerves have seen better days
No more guys for a week or two
No more runnin' with the usual crew
No more movies or stayin' out late
My baby's gotta find himself another date

'Cause I'mma havin' a nervous breakdown
A mental shakedown
I'mma havin' a nervous breakdown
I'mma havin' a nervous breakdown

A nervous breakdown
A nervous breakdown
A nervous breakdown

I'mma havin' a nervous breakdown
A nervous breakdown
Ooh, a nervous breakdown
A nervous breakdown
