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
