Well, do you want to know
What it takes to be a stupid man?
I will tell you in just a moment
And i hope that you will understand
That's why i'm nervous
It's disconcerting

All you have to do is write a bassline
And then everybody wants to know your name
They stand beside you and laugh along
Then they turn and run away
When you lose your fame,
That's why i'm nervous
That's why i'm nervous

You make me nervous
Every time i look at you
I don't know what to do with yourself
I feel as small as a mouse
