The Lyrics

I got the idea for this from the old "Crazy" magazine Irving Nebbish character (aka The Nebbish)...
I will never understand
Why I am not considered a decent man
Why you want to turn your back on me
Why you show me only pity
See, I’ve been hurt so many times before
But I swear you hurt me so much more
I know I must look like a clown
Because it's only you that I want to be around
And I can't help acting strange
All my life called “that poor thing”
Over you my heart keeps aching

You can call me a nebbish
But all I wanted was to be loved
You can call me hopeless (helpless)
But I’m tired of being shoved
You can call me weak and timid
But I‘ll only want your love more
There’s nothing I can really do
‘Cause I’m a loser right through the core (right?)
What's wrong with being a nebbish?

I don’t want to waste your time
But I hope someday you realize
That for you I may not be an intellectual
I know I’m mostly ineffectual
But I would give my heart to you
Despite all the pain it’s going through
Although unassertive, do I deserve to
Be averted?
Is love such a crime
Why punish me
Just for loving for you
Considering all the things I’ve been through
Wanting just to be loved too?

You can call me a nebbish
But all I wanted was to be loved
You can call me hopeless (helpless)
But I’m tired of being shoved
You can call me weak and timid
But I‘ll only want love more
There’s nothing I can really do
‘Cause I’m a loser right through the core (right?)

Why does society keep us apart
Why won't you share your heart
You know that I want to become better
But all you do is push me away
All that I want is to be loved
Forever, not never, never, never

You can call me a nebbish
But all I wanted was to be loved
You can call me hopeless (helpless)
But I’m tired of being shoved
You can call me weak and timid
But I‘ll only want love more
There’s nothing I can really do
‘Cause I’m a loser right through the core (right?)

Nebbishly I want to be loved by you
Cause I'm tired of being unlucky,
a non-entity
Nebbishly I want to be loved by you
Cause I'm tired of being unlucky,
a non-entity
Nebbishly I want to be loved by you
Cause I'm tired of being unlucky,
a non-entity

Girl, I just want to be loved too
So what's wrong with being a nebbish, nebbish, nebbish, nebbish…
So what's wrong with being a nebbish…
