Polaroid woman sure treat me right But right now I'm down on my knees I need your nervous release, your nervous release I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge Like I just stepped back from a window ledge I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline IBM woman, now I've got a hunch You're too wound up from operating that punch I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys I need your nervous release, ah yeah I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed I checked my level, it was in the red I swear I heard voices, there was no one around An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down I used to brag about my nerves of steel Heavy Metal woman just can't be real Cool me down by degrees I need your nervous release, na na na I'm as nervous as a man could be Full of guilt and insecurity Too much work, man it's k**ing me Like a mad dog howling through the trees I need your nervous release, your nervous release N-n-nervous release, n-n-nervous release Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby Oh baby, oh baby oh baby oh oh baby Yeah alright Yeah yeah yeah I need your nervous release Yeah yeah
