Nervous
(Janis Ian)

i was walking down the street
when I spied cnn
in the window of a bar
and I thought here we go again
so I stood there in the crowd
and I watched the world go by
while everyone around me
kept on glancing at the sky
I was nervous

so I went back to my house
and I got down on my knees
it was quiet as a mouse
when he spots a chunk of cheese
I said lord won't you help me
cause I cannot see the light
then I thought about the bomb
and I shut the curtains tight
I been nervous

i been nervous about love
should I go or should I wait
if I tell you that I want you
will you say I came too late
I'm nervous that my nerves
aren't ready for my fate
I'm worried that my worrying
is too much and too late

I am nervous about time
does it start or does it end
if we mess up evolution
do we get to try again
and if I was a potato
could I see you in the dark
underground where I'll be
if they light the final spark
I'm really nervous

I'm nervous for the president
and for the fbi
I'm nervous for the government
and I don't want to fly
I'm nervous 'bout the arabs
when I look up at the sky
and I think I'm being hijacked
when you look me in the eye
I'm really nervous

I'm nervous in the morning
and I'm nervous late at night
and I want to be alone
but I don't want you out of sight
and I don't know what to do
and I don't know where to turn
I just walk around in circles
and I wish I was a germ

cause if I was a germ
I would never be scared
I could hide in a finger
or a little piece of hair
I could give 'em all the clap
I could kill them in their sleep
and they couldn't fight back
and they wouldn't scare me
or make me nervous

I don't want a revolution
I don't want to fight a war
I don't want to think about it
or be nervous any more
so I'm going back to bed
with a dirty magazine
and I'm hoping when I wake up
it'll all have been a dream

if you're feeling nervous
you can come up to my place
we can drink a glass of wine
and pretend we're on a date
or we can sing Kumbaya
by the light of the TV
or we can move to dakota
it's all okay with me
don't be nervous

I think I'll throw a party
for the end of the world
and I'll wear a formal/cocktail dress
and my grandmother's pearls
and we'll talk about the theater
and the movies and pretend
that we never saw a thing
on cnn

it'll be all right
it'll be okay
we will live our lives
and face another day
but until that time
let me say, my dear
that I'm nervous
and I'm very
glad
you're
here
