A letra:
Ah well I
bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man in a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
What's wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man in a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Well, my
hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you think of when you have such luck?
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you think of when you have such luck?
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Well,
please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I feel fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
I'm a little mixed up, but I feel fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
Well she
touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
My tongue
gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have that girl that I love so fine!
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have that girl that I love so fine!
She
touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay
I'm all shook up
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay
I'm all shook up
