One, two, three

You got ants in your pants, I don't understand
I don't trust the flick of your eyes
You're a viper and love's a fever
You said something profane and went for a vein
But in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much, I'm a bleeder

I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no

You caught me surprised and my will resigned
Torture the minds of 'em all
You're a brain drain, you'd better beat it
I'm following the lines, the blind leads the blind
So hang me or grant me a stay
You better cut me loose, or hand me a noose

I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no

I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no

You said something profane and went for a vein
But in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much, I'm a bleeder

There ain't no end to the problem of a bad situation
Complication
No, no, no, no, ah
There ain't no end to the problem and frustration
I need a vacation
No, no, no, no, ah

There ain't no end to the problem
And la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
No, no, no, no, ah
There ain't no end to the problem
And la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

I know I couldn't
And I know that I couldn't say no
