Billy Squier Shocked Straight song lyrics

And so the knife comes down... another curtain falls

And no one hears the sound... and no one takes the call

From me and my anxiety... locked up in these four walls

I come to you now I'm alone... with my defenses down

I tell you everything I need... I get down on the ground

I always know that when I go... that I'll be back again

Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine

Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in

Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in

If I could listen to my mind... and keep the world outside my door...

But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' more

Now all I want is to be free... and get up off the floor

Why can't you look into my heart...

Why can't you ever let me know

You're always takin' me apart... you're never lettin' go

There's always somethin' on your mind...

This ain't reality

Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine

Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in

Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in

Why you be so hard

Why you be so hard

Why you be so hard

I know it's gonna take some time... for me to straighten out my head

To say what's on my mind... to hear those words I said

And while I'm tryin' to learn to feel...

You keep on tellin' me...

Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine

Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in

Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in

Shocked straight...

Shocked straight...

Shocked straight... when you gonna let me in

Why you be so hard

Why you be so hard

Why you be so hard
