Lyrics

Not one to be alarmist
Panic's not really my style
Dealing with my nervousness
And forcing a smile... see?
I'm good at coping
Cool, poised, self-controlled
No, that's OK I'll be alright
These are coffee shakes, that's all
(Quit) quit I won't quit
(Quit) quit I can't quit
Eager for a challenge
Sure, I wasn't over my head
Had the very best intentions
The tougher, the better, I said
I know you're very busy
I can see you're working very hard
But I'm scared
Don't want to interrupt you
But I've got to tell somebody
That there's big trouble here
Run for cover and say your prayers!
Everything was researched
Followed the best advice
Spent days on end in reference
Confirmed all sources twice
Realistic expectations
Practical methods and tests
Confident in the outcome
Final result of this crisis
(Quit) quit, I won't quit
(Quit) quit I can't quit
Every angle, every option
Checked my facts again and again
Tore it apart a thousand times
And stood it on its head
Went over it and over it
Considered different points of view
Put things in perspective
But I can't find the error, no ideas, no clues
Well, what the Hell am I supposed to do?
I've really got a problem here (quit!) No
I've really got a problem here (quit!) No
I've really got a problem here (quit) no, no, no
Problem
I'd rather not admit it
This is hard for me to say
I'm proud and independent
And I don't like to make mistakes
And all I need is a different slant and objective overview
And I couldn't keep from thinkin'
Just what it was you'd do
(I quit) quit I won't quit
(Quit) quit I can't quit
You'd pull this all together as if it were routine
Dazzle me with logic, brilliant lines of reasoning
You'd crack through solutions, your genius on demand
We could move a little faster
Hurry up and get us out of this jam
'Cause I've given up, I quit, I can't
I've really got a problem here (quit) no!
I've really got a problem here (quit!) No
I've really got a problem here (quit) no, no, no
Problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem (I've been working hard as I can)
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem (oh, thanks)
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem (you've really been of great help)
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem (have you heard a word I said?)
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
I've really got a, got a, got a, got a problem
