Ooh she moves like a racehorse
And her eyes shiver, shift and curve
When she cries, it's like a galeforce

Because she is suffering from a twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
She went and married him when she was only twenty

Twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
We always knew that he would leave her cold and empty

Twisted nerve
(Chorus)
The human heart never skips a beat

The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting
When he talks it's like a perfume

But she knows it's a poison gas
So she puts his hand where her heart is
So he can feel it shattering

Like a pane of glass
Twisted nerve
When she found him we all thought she'd got religion

Twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
Hear the sound of prayers coming from the kitchen

Twisted nerve
(Chorus)
The human heart tears her apart

But she'll always be out there waiting
Twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve
Now she waits in the bedroom

She's awake, he's asleep
She treats his heart like an heirloom
He drags hers shivering through the street

(Chorus)
The human heart never skips a beat
The human heart tears her apart

But she'll always be out there waiting
The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting
