I've Got Neuropathy

It's one p.m.,

I'm at the doc's;

I've taken off

My shoes and socks.

He sticks a pin in;

I sit there grinnin'—

I've got neuropathy.

I'm on a date,

I'm getting bold;

Instead of hot,

I'm feeling cold.

My feet are freezin'

And here's the reason:

I've got neuropathy.

When there's a fire within me

Should I feel glad or sad?

Can this be love I'm feeling

Or just a nerve gone bad?

She wants to wed;

I'm all aglow.

Should I say yes?

Should I say no?

Oh, how I tingle,

But I'll stay single—

It's just ... neuropathy.
