Nervous Release - Foghat

I’ve been wearin' my fingers down to the bone

Just pushin' your number on the telephone

I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall

But your line was busy every time I call

Remember the shots that we took last night?

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 killing 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
