Pandemic Blues: I Can't Take It! lyrics - Chris Isaak

First week, I'm staying home alone

Next week, I'm still here on my own

Third week, I thought I heard the phone

The fourth week, now something's really wrong

I don't know how long

I don't know if I can take it, I can take it

I can take it

The fifth week, I'm watching television

Sixth week, feels like I'm in prison

Seventh week, I'm waking up at noon

Eighth week, I gotta get out soon

'Cause I don't know how long

I don't know if I can take it, I can take it

I can take it

And I went to see my doctor

I confessed I had to leave

He was calm and reassuring

Told me, "Please roll up your sleeve"

But I don't know

No, I don't know

If I can take it

I can take it

Take it now

And I don't know

No, I don't know

If I can take it

I can take it

I'm so tired of being locked up, isolated and alone

I'm so tired of television, I'm so sick of staying home

And I don't know

No, I don't know

If I can take it

I can take it

Take it now

Take it now

I can take it

That's all, babe

That's all

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Take it

See what I'm saying
