Nervous Breakdown
Eddie Cochran's Meltdown: Unraveling the Turmoil Within
Lyrics
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
I am experiencing a nervous breakdown.
A mental shakedown
It's a mental crisis or upheaval.
See my hands, how they shiver
Observing my hands trembling.
Whoo, see my knees, how they quiver
Noticing my knees shaking.
My whole body's in a jitter
My entire body is in a state of nervousness and agitation.
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Reiterating the experience of a nervous breakdown.
Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day
Visited a doctor recently.
And I've got to tell you what the man had to say
Sharing what the doctor told me.
Well, he said, "hey, boy, you just gotta slow down
Advice from the doctor to slow down and not be overly active.
You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town
Warning against wandering all over town.
After givin' you a physical check
Referring to a physical examination.
I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck"
Doctor's conclusion that I am in a bad condition.
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Reaffirming the experience of a nervous breakdown.
A mental shakedown
Highlighting the mental aspect of the breakdown.
See my hands, how they shiver
Repeating the observation of trembling hands.
Whoo, see my knees, how they quiver
Reiterating the description of quivering knees.
My whole body's in a jitter
Emphasizing the overall jitteriness of the body.
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Confirming the ongoing nervous breakdown.
I've made up my mind, I'd better change my ways
Deciding to change my lifestyle.
My shattered nerves have seen better days
Acknowledging the toll on my nerves.
Well, there's no more girls for a week or two
Committing to avoiding romantic relationships for a while.
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Avoiding socializing with the usual group of friends.
No more movies or stayin' out late
Deciding to abstain from entertainment like movies and late nights.
My baby have to find herself another date
My partner needs to find someone else for a date.
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Reaffirming the experience of a nervous breakdown.
Mmm, a mental shakedown
Stressing the mental aspect of the crisis.
See my hands, how they shiver
Repeating the observation of trembling hands.
Hoo-wee, see my knees, how they quiver
Reiterating the description of quivering knees.
My whole body's in a jitter
Emphasizing the overall jitteriness of the body.
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Confirming the ongoing nervous breakdown.
