Lyrics
Oh, well, a-bless my soul, but what’s wrong with me?
I’m itchin’ like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I’m actin’ wild as a bug
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, well, my hands are shaky, and my knees are weak
I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, please, don’t ask me what’s upon my mind
I’m a little mixed up, but I feel fine
When I’m near the girl that I love best
My heart beats, so it scares me to death
When 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
Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
When she touched my hand, a-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
Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, I’m all shook up
