Lyrics

The Nerve

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You've got the nerve, that's one thing

You've got the nerve, that's one thing, take it from me

Did you ever like it?

Did you ever really like it, like it?

I'll make the time, that's nothing

I'll make the time, that's nothing, I'll give it you

If you really want it

Tell me, do you really want it, want it?

(I don't mind) I didn't notice

(I don't find) I didn't know that

You did it on your own

I said you did it on your own

Have you got the balls to say that?

Have you got the balls to think that it's over to you

To decide when it's over?

I'll tell you when I think that it's over, over

I got in line and I'm waiting

I got in line and I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you

To pretend that you like me

To go outside and make believe that you like me, like me

(I don't mind) I didn't notice

(I don't find) I didn't know that

You did it on your own

You never did it on your own

I won't dance, not in these shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve

I won't dance, not in my work shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve

You've got the nerve, that's one thing

You've got the nerve, that's one thing, I'm thirty-five

And I really like it

I'm still alive and I really like it, like it

(I don't mind) I didn't notice

(I don't find) I didn't know that

You did it on your own

You never did it on your own

I won't dance, not in these shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve

I won't dance, not in my work shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve

You got nerve

You got the nerve

You got nerve

I won't dance, not in these shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve

I won't dance, not in my work shoes

You got nerve

I can't dance, not in your shoes

You got the nerve
