Lyrics and Chords
{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
{Refrain}
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
