Maybe I left the lid up
far more often than I should have
Maybe I left the trash in
far more often than I could have
little things I should have said and done
but they just never come to mind

So I am always on her nerves
I am always on her nerves

tell me, tell me when a bulb needs to be changed
give me, one more chance my lapses to explain
and all will be explained

Maybe I left some dishes
on the table in the den
Maybe I smell of fishes
when I come home from the gym
little things that I forget to do
like leaving stockings in my shoe

So I am always on her nerves
I am always on her nerves

Tell me, tell me when the grass needs to be cut
Give me, one more chance, then kick me in the butt

When she tripped on my underwear
I had forgotten they were there

So I am always on her nerves
I am always on her nerves
