lyrics

1st Verse:
What would you do when you're only 16,
When your daddy leaves your home for a girl whose 18?
Mom goes into a rehab every other week.
While you're trying to fit in at school right there somewhere in between.

Pre-chorus:
No one out there can really hear you scream
when you're yearning for a touch and that comfort within.

Chorus:
Driving me nuts,
You are driving me nuts
You are driving me nuts
Won't you let me live up!

2nd Verse
What would you do when you're only 16,
When you're bullied in school for your broken home and dreams.
They'll make fun of your life as if you were crazy
if you try to share out some of your deeper feelings.

Pre-chorus:
No one out there can really hear you scream.
Where you're yearning for a touch and some comfort within.

Chorus:

Driving me nuts,
You are driving me nuts
You are driving me nuts
Won't you let me live up!

Bridge:
I wanna know what love is;
I know that there's more to life.
I see that a new day's arising;
I can now see the lights.

Chorus:
Driving me nuts,
You are driving me nuts
You are driving me nuts
Won't you let me live up!
