{Refrain} I'm addicted to stress that's the way that I get things done If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long And I hang around like a bum I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright (3x) Everybody's thinking about me
/ A - / C - / D - / D7 - /
It's the little things that get you It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention It's the little things that get you, it's the little things that get you It's the little things that get you, when you weren't paying attention
I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption So when I get up I just have one cup of coffee And I like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast And on the way to work I like to get a cup of coffee Like the kind of cup of coffee that you get with a doughnut 'Cept I never get the doughnut I just have the cup of coffee And when I get to work I like to have a cup of coffee 'Cause I like to have a coffee when I'm talking on the phone But it usually goes cold and I need to get another Cup of coffee and it's lunch and I have an espresso
And when I get back it's not morning anymore So I have a diet cola and another diet cola And by then I'm feeling fine and I'm feeling pretty sharp And I'm feeling pretty wired and I'm getting things done But right about two I get this little tiny migraine And it starts behind my eyes and it moves to the back of my Neck and it moves to the bottom of my spine But it doesn't get there until five or six o'clock Which is the end of the day so I'm fine! So I'm fine! so I'm fine, so I'm fine, so I'm fine Except when I have to work late When I have to work late which I usually do

I love to work I love to run I love to play real hard I love to steal little things from the grocery store Like a piece of bubble gum or sometimes I just Stick my thumb in a peach and leave it there I love to work I love to run I love to waterski, snowboard, jetski Skydive, parasail, hang-glide, rollerblade, mountainbike, bungee-jump Well I mean I'd love to do these things if I ever had the time I love to work, I love to work, I love to work out after work I love to spend a little time with this woman that I'm seeing 'Cept we never really get a little time to spend together So we call each other up and we talk about work
But what I think I'd really love is to get out by myself On a little tiny island in the middle of the ocean With just me and a book and a cellular phone And a personal computer in case something came up And I'd eat and I'd drink and I'd run and I'd sleep And I wouldn't do nothing except swim all day 'Cept, you know, my beeper doesn't work under water Where are the sharks? where are the sharks? where are the sharks? And there's this kind of anemone that sticks in your foot And the poison goes up to your brain and you die And sand fleas? sand fleas - yuck! But actually I think it'd be really relaxing Just me by myself in the middle of the ocean And that's what I'd really love to do more than anything else Except I'd probably hate it
