Sometimes It's The Little Things That Scare Me
The glass in the sand, the stone in the hand
It's The Little Things That Scare Me today
And it's just a little thing fifty times a day
I'll be standing over here or walking over there
Just when my life is quiet enough
When some punk who thinks he's clever gets mad at someone better
And tries to blow the whole town up

Sometimes It's The Little Things That Scare Me
The way someone looks, the best-selling books
It's The Little Things That Scare Me today
And it's just a little thing fifty times a day

Well I try hard not to worry but I don't want to be sorry
You might well call me paranoid
But experience has taught me real trouble hasn't caught me
And it won't be easy to avoid

Sometimes It's The Little Things That Scare Me
Rattling jets, toys for my pets
It's The Little Things That Scare Me today
And it's just a little thing fifty times a day


You may worry like a Mom 'bout pollution or the bomb
Hunger or the crime it brings
But the odds are almost double that the worst of all your troubles
Is bound to start with little things

Sometimes It's The Little Things That Scare Me
Some stranger's mood, pre-packaged food
It's The Little Things That Scare Me today
Capsules in jars, children with cars, emotional scars, windstorms on Mars
It's The Little Things That Scare Me today
And it's just a little thing fifty times a day

Oh it's just a little thing, just a little thing
Well it's just a little thing each and every day
