Nervous Young Men - The Bell Jar lyrics

I’m not going to go out tonight, no
I was not invited
I just overheard you talking about it, oh
It’s not like I care a lot

Because who needs to spend a lot
Of time with their friends
With their friends
I’ll just wait outside for my ride
Because I hate parties, oh I hate parties

I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I’m not gonna name names
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me
Is a talentless hack
Oh don’t let this wicked city get you down

I'm wide-eyed a lot of the time
I can’t seem to shut off my mind
Are you trying to hook me up with this girl
Just so you can get me off your back?

I just had to get out of the house
It was suffocating me, suffocating me
But, I can see you're busy
I’ll talk to you some other time

I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I’m not gonna name names
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me
Is a talentless hack
Oh don’t let this wicked city get you down

It’s really dark outside and
It’s really cold outside but
Nobody’s coming so
I guess I better start walking

I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I’m not gonna name names
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me
Is a talentless hack
Oh don’t let this wicked city
Get you down, down, down

Down, down, down down, down, down
Down, down, down

Don’t let it get you down, down, down
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
Don’t let it get you down
