The ''In Utero'' inner sleeve identified the lyrics as:

This representation in the inner sleeve is mainly due to the fact that the song had no permanent lyrics and thus was different every time it was played live.
May day, every day, my day


''tourette's'' is a prime example of the "Music comes first, lyrics come second," mindset that Kurt Cobain had when he was writing songs.
Could've had a heart attack, my heart


Despite the song having no permanent lyrics as such, Nirvana fans have been able to decipher the lyrics for the studio version of the track; they are as follows:
We don't know anything, my heart

|Moderate rock


Mayday, every day, my day
